Paris to Nantes by train

You can choose from two different high speed services when travelling from Paris to Nantes by train, but both the regular TGV InOui services and low-cost, but more basic, Ouigo services share the same route.
It's particularly worthwhile to click on the Train Guides, so that you can compare the two train services.
However, if you need to arrive at a specific time you will often have to take one train service or the other.
The Ouigo services can plug gaps between the TGV InOui departures.
There are also trains which don't use the high speed line, so are much slower, but they are also the cheapest option.
