New destinations and more frequent services
Want to travel up to Paris from the Basque coast and the Landes region by OUIGO TGV? From December 2025 you’ll be able to, thanks to a daily return service between the French capital and stations in Hendaye, St-Jean-de-Luz, Biarritz, Bayonne and Dax. In addition to these new destinations, we’re increasing the daily frequency of our other low-cost TGV services:
- Starting December 2025: an additional daily Paris-Rennes return service.
- From Summer 2026: a third daily return service between Montpellier and Paris.
- By year-end 2026: a third daily weekend return service between Lyon and Paris.
And last, but not least: starting 12 May 2025, OUIGO’s conventional-speed train service will also be stepped up, with a third daily return journey between Paris and Rennes.
