The group offer

TGV Lyria offers a more attractive fare, better suited to groups of more than 10 people. The journey can be a one-way or a round trip. Groups of adults can benefit from up to 72% discount depending on the anticipation of partially flexible fares. Groups of children under 12 years of age and youth groups between 12 and 27 years of age receive an additional discount.

As group sales on TGV Lyria are not accessible from the Book n’Go platform, please book via your usual tool by making the booking and placement directly. You can also send your group requests via PPG Lyria.
