Thank you! Yes, it was made a little bit ago but nothing has changed! It’s all still very much valid and I hope it helps you travel easier in France. Be sure to check out my Paris metro series and playlist if you’re spending any time in the city! That should help too. ☺️
Thanks for this video. I have a train /subway/public transport phobia especially in a foreign country. I guess it's just a fear of getting lost and not understanding what to do. With Videos like yours, I am beginning to loose my phobia.
Thank you for sharing this comment with our community. I completely understand! I barely knew how to say hello and goodbye in French when I first started visiting France. But I was traveling here alone, and once I felt like I understood the Paris metro, I really wanted to start traveling outside of the city to explore this beautiful country. But I, too, was very afraid of making mistakes, getting lost, and not being able to communicate. Ultimately, the biggest lesson I’ve learned here, is that this country is full of beautiful people that are very kind and caring. They’re always willing to help. And that hand gestures go a long way. 😉😉😅
Thanks for the details. I like to know how to navigate before I get there. Any tips on how baggage is stowed? We're travelling from Paris to Tours, towards the end of a 2 week trip, so we'll have a couple larger suitcases.
Baggage isn’t stowed. You load and unload yourself in the car that you’re assigned. It’s why I generally choose first class and a lower carriage seating so I don’t have so many steps or stairs to deal with. Plus elevators or escalators down to the platform. It’s why I always suggest to travel light in France! It’s not easy to voyage with oversized suitcases here.
How is the platform or quai announced? Is it on the departure board, or announced over a speaker? I don't hear well, so I'm concerned about finding the right platform.
Great question. You don’t have to listen for it. In my video, I share that the platform is registered on the screens. So, about 15 minutes before the departure, the platform is announced via the departure screens. Just watch the TV’s and then move to the platform you’ve been assigned to. I show that in my video.
Without knowing your personal situation, it’s difficult to give you advice on this matter. I suggest reaching out to customer service to inquire about the best pass for you. Enjoy your trip!
I know this was made 2 yeqrs ago but damn it calmed me so much knowing what and how to do . Thank youuuuuuu

Yea, loose your phobia. I was frustrated as well, but using TrainPal makes everything on track and never had issues.
Screenplay , editing and the song ---very nice . The girls, of course are -- cute .
Thanks for the video. The only thing I am worried about on my trip was the trains and the gates/ Halls and such. Merci
I hope you’re feeling so much better after watching my video. PS love your username 😂🐎

Hi, do u think purchasing carte avantage adulte TGV INOUÏ is good for discount?
Without knowing your personal situation, it’s difficult to give you advice on this matter. I suggest reaching out to customer service to inquire about the best pass for you. Enjoy your trip!
I just have question if I need to validate my eticket in station, good to find the answer here. Thanks. How adorable 2 girls with you.
If it’s an e-ticket, no. Great question, Nicole. I only validated the girl’s paper ticket because they don’t issue e-tickets for dogs.
Try TrainPal next time! No need to validate tickets but applied many coupons to get cheaper! Also recommend train card sales if you travel a lot.
Is there any way to buy the TGV inoui online?
Hello! Instead of an app like Trainline? Yes, you can visit the SCNF website for online purchases direct through their site.
I found Gare du Nord in Paris to be extremely confusing. There were no signs or information.
Thank you for sharing your experience. I’m sorry that you had troubles!
