The SNCF Baggage Service takes charge of your home baggage and delivers them to the address of your choice within 24 hours
To facilitate your train trip, especially in case you have bulky baggage (a bike, skis, several suitcases...), you can let the SNCF take you through the Home Baggage service.
The SNCF Home Baggage Service takes charge of your luggage at home and delivers them to the address you indicated to them within 24 hours. Ideal for carrying gifts during the holidays, for large families leaving on holiday or for an elderly person who does not want to bother or can simply not wear his suitcase.

It is possible to remove up to 10 ordinary bags per ticket. The reservation of the "Home Baggage" service is available in SNCF Shops, by phone at 3635 (0.34 €/min) and on the Baggage Internet site.voyages-sncf.com.

An expensive service but ideal for holidays
The price for this service appears expensive, but this is the price of tranquility . If you plan to travel by train for the holidays, with your skis, your sledge and all your Christmas gifts, you may want to have them delivered to you so you don't cumber up and travel quietly. Same for the summer holidays: during the school-end moves or large family departures on holiday, you may be very busy. Think about it...
For example, for two ordinary baggage (less than 25 kg), the rate will be 58€. If you add a large bagage to this, the price will be 138€. You can calculate what it will cost you directly on the SNCF home baggage service site.
