Before travelling on Ouigo services, passengers will need to familiarise themselves with the operator's terms of travel.

While no weight restrictions apply, baggage is also limited to one small carry-on size bag.
But France isn't the only holiday hotspot that's offering cheap train travel this summer.
Holidaymakers will also be able to travel around Spain without spending a penny.
The Spanish Government recently extended the free train travel scheme until the end of 2023.
And the extension is good news for Brits because these free tickets can be snapped by anyone - including tourists.
To redeem the free tickets, holidaymakers must travel on commuter and medium-distance trains that are operated by Renfe.
The free tickets aren't valid on high-speed AVE trains that connect popular destinations such as Madrid and Barcelona, but they can be used between multiple cities within regions such as Andalusia.
A new European train will take Brits to Spain without needing to fly.
