Stations and direct trains

Paris Est, also called Gare de l'Est, is the usual departure station. Direct TGV INOUI services run to Luxembourg, with direct trains typically calling at Metz and Thionville on the way. Some journeys change at Metz or Nancy and continue on a TER, so check whether the itinerary is direct before choosing it.

Direct TGV INOUI services operate on this corridor as part of SNCF Voyageurs. For a trip with luggage, staying on one train is generally simpler than changing in Metz or Nancy. If a connection is the better fit for your time, leave enough margin to find the next platform and follow the train number for each leg.

Tickets and reservations

There is no single fare for every Paris to Luxembourg journey. Prices depend on the date, departure, class, and how far ahead you book. When two trains suit your plans, compare the total journey and the exchange or refund conditions, not only the headline fare.

International tickets can have conditions that differ from a domestic trip. Enter the passenger details exactly as they appear on the travel documents, and keep the ticket, train number, and any reservation together. If you use a discount card or rail pass, confirm that the product covers this TGV INOUI journey and any connecting leg before paying.
