Operator profileSNCF Intercités de Nuit
Intercités de Nuit is SNCF's domestic French night-train network, radiating from Paris Austerlitz to the Alps, Pyrenees and Mediterranean coast. The network was state-subsidised from 2017 after near-total closure and has since kept legacy routes running, including seasonal winter ski trains.
