If you want to beat the queues, you can also buy a Metro-Train ticket ahead of your trip using the Île-de-France Mobilités (opens in a new tab) or Bonjour RATP app (opens in a new tab).
- Follow the signs to Métro line 4 and board an M4 train towards Bagneux-Lucie Aubrac.
- Get off the train at Montparnasse-Bienvenüe.
- Follow the signs for 'Gare Montparnasse', and then 'Trains Grandes Lignes'. Once you're at Gare Montparnasse, take a lift or the escalators to the TGV platforms. Look for the platform your train will depart from on the departures board.
- Board your TGV train to your final destination. Boarding starts around 20 minutes before departure and the doors close 2 minutes before.
