Food on the TGV - Paris to Aix - What are we allowed to bring?
Hello!
We are taking a 3 1/2 hr TGV ride from Paris to Aix...we are hoping to bring along a little lunch to avoid what we've heard are expensive food options on the TGV. Is there anything that we're not allowed to bring? Many thanks for your suggestions!

You can bring anything you can carry on the TGV. There is no verification whatsoever. The only train in France with any sort of security check is the Eurostar, but even on that, all foods and drinks are permitted.
That's a really slow TGV you're taking. Paris-Avignon is 2h45 and Paris-Marseille is 3h -- and Aix is between those two cities.

There's no problem bringing and consuming beer or wine on the train too, right? If we're in seats facing each other, is there a little table that can be extended? (I've seen that years ago on other European trains.)

I have heard (but perhaps it is just urban legend) that the only food prohibited on the Paris Metro is Epoisses cheese. Perhaps that holds for the TGV as well.

It may smell a bit like the "feet of angels" but it sure is yummy!

It is good to know, Kerouac, that I was misinformed, and I can bring Epoisses in the Metro.
I agree with Singapore that the Durian should be banned from any public place. My son loves them, and brought me one once. I am an adventuristic eater, but I really had trouble getting the first bite past my nose.
There was no second bite!
