Areas organised for families
Before you travel, think about booking seats grouped together to accommodate families.
There are two solutions in particular that are available to you:
- The Family Square: located in cars 6, 16, 7 and 17 in STANDARD (2nd class), this area consists of 4 seats facing one another. The seats and liftable table allow you to make space to store a pushchair.
- Club 4: an area with 4 seats facing one another and a table in between (non-liftable).
How to go about it: when making the booking, after choosing your train time and class of travel, select your seats: “Family Square” or “Club 4”.
For further information, consult our train plan.
A practical and accessible baby changing station on board
Close to the Family Squares, you will find a baby changing station in car 7 (upper deck) or 17 (upper deck).
Easy to locate thanks to its sign, it is equipped with a changing table.
A changing table is also available in car 1 (lower deck) or 11 (lower deck).
