Camping gas or butane cylinders and canisters cannot travel on trains according to SNCF/SNCB regulations, so you won’t be able to take these on board under any circumstances.

You can take camping cutlery and tools like pocket or Swiss army knives, as long as any blades are less than 3" (75mm) long. Any folding knife with a blade that locks is strictly prohibited, regardless of size.

You can take bats, pool and snooker cues and darts as part of your luggage allowance, as long as they’re kept in a protective case.

You’ll need to contact a private courier if you’re travelling with any of these items as we are currently unable to offer our usual service: spears and spear guns, crossbows, crossbow bolts, longbows, longbow arrows, swords or starting pistols. We apologise for the inconvenience.
