Connecting services to France

If you live in a Swiss town that’s not on one of our direct routes but you want to travel to France, don’t worry. At TGV Lyria we think of everything (and everyone). We have a number of easy connecting services to help you get to France from many Swiss cities. Head up to Paris or Dijon in less than five hours from Bern, Montreux, Neuchâtel or Leman Lake Geneva.

💡 Newsflash. It is temporarily no longer possible to book journeys on the Swiss rail network not served by TGV Lyria on SNCF Connect. No need to panic. Go to sbb.ch to book your journey in Switzerland.

This situation is temporary, and improvements will be made from autumn 2024 before a new system is rolled out in 2025. This new reservation system will make it possible to propose extended offers and fare ranges, as is possible for operators' offers abroad.

Please note: this situation will have no impact on bookings already made on SNCF Connect or at stations, or those that will be made up to 23 May 2024, as they will all be guaranteed.
