First TGV review! How different from Japan? 🇫🇷 vs 🇯🇵

Hello everyone, Dr. Poom himself. Today will take everyone to the first French TGV INOUI high-speed rail ride experience! Tell me that from the heart of people to Japan often come across the system. There are many Culture Shocks here, so summarize the differences and survival tricks to save in the footsteps! 👇

✨ 1. Train ticketing in advance

This time I booked 3 months in advance. The price is higher than the Czech 4 months in advance. Anyone with a plan is advised to check and book 4 months in advance, so it is best.

✨ 2. Train boarding system (different from Japan, obviously!)

France: We have to stand in front of the station announcement board. The train is coming to announce which platform to leave, and then we can scan the QR Code ticket with the staff to go down to the platform.

Japan: Tap the station entrance card to wait for the platform in advance. There is an exact cabinet number on the floor. (France doesn't have a cabinet number on the floor. You have to see the A B C D sign hanging on top.)

✨ 3.Trick handling large luggage

The pocket holder at the door is usually full, very sensitive, and cannot strap a bicycle lock.

💡 Trick: Try to walk in and see your seat. If you're lucky, you can stick to the "mid-cabinet luggage" here. It's very spacious. Place a 30-inch luggage comfortably and the luggage is safe. Don't reserve a seat at the end of the procession in advance like Ching Gun Zen.

✨ 4. What to do when you find a Delayed train?

This time I found Delay for 55 minutes until I almost lost the local train (TER) to go.

💡 Trick: If you have to connect a local train / TER, this type of ticket can be used to travel anywhere throughout the day. Do not waste time in the queue, change the ticket. You can use the same ticket on the next train (but if it is TGV, please contact the staff).

Additional observations:

The train station bathroom here is a waste of money (4 euros in this round). It is recommended to enter the train for free and clean.

Some terminals (such as Strasbourg) do not have ticket barriers. They can walk in and out freely.

💬 Which of your friends have taken the train to Europe and experienced it? Or who has the best ticketing technique? Come to the comment, tell the doctor! 👇
