I would estimate my solution (including the luggage strap) to weigh in at less than 500g. It folded down to about the size of a lightweight waterproof jacket and fitted in my rucksack front pocket! It also ended up around 1.2m x 0.9m which is the TGV size limit.
Basically, it's just a lightweight cover - the bike & bits are tied together and the luggage strap attached to the frame.

everything worked out fine - I made a 'bag' from a lightweight cycle cover from Halfords i.e. cut it down to size, gaffer taped the edges and put on a strip of velcro at the top. Dismantled bike and strapped wheels, bars and saddle/seatpost to the frame and then attached a luggage strap to the headtube and rear brake bridge. All folded down to a small pack in the rucksack! Had a great few days in France ....

OK - thanks for sharing your findings. Although I have a large padded bag it's gonna be difficult to take with me as I need to cycle to and from the TGV. Might invest in cheap lightweight cover (Argos £15!) and partly dissassemble the bike and use the cover as a bag which should then fold up and go in the rucksack. Don't really want the hassle of trying to buy a ticket for it and it not being nearby! Thanks again

I know the deal on eurostar - either bag it or pay £20 each way to put it in the luggage carriage - but what about the TGV?
Seems to be lots of conflicting information about what you can take, on which services, and whether you need a ticket for it.
Anyone been on the TGV recently that can clear this up.
