That is exceedingly helpful, thank you. Been annoyed by the sncf and Trainline searches for french trains the last couple of weeks!

Bit of an eye-opening condemnation of TGV+bike travel, has anyone else tried it?

it's not really true, I have taken bike on TGV a few times in a massive Evoc bag without issues.
some TGV lines also let you take them on unboxed. -
Just using this now. Actually quite useful.
UK, France, Spain train sites, all useless for finding "no I'm not going to take apart my bike and box it, you pricks" journeys.

Thought this link may be of interest to someone (yes, I'm a bit of a long-time admirer of the bikes on that site). Basically suggests using a German train app to plan French train journeys. I have no experience of this, but perhaps it is of help to someone.
