Left luggage at Bordeaux Saint-Jean station

Arriving at Saint-Jean with bags and hours to spare before check-in, or between two trains, can leave you stuck. We'll help you weigh the station's own left-luggage office against Stasher locations nearby.

The station has its own left-luggage office, so there's a straightforward place to drop things, but with tight SNCF limits on what you can carry aboard, sorting your bags before you head to the platform is the practical move.

It is the largest railway station in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region. The official left-luggage service ranges from 3 to 15 euros depending on luggage size.

Train rules and getting around with bags

Bordeaux Saint-Jean station is a major interchange for TGV INOUI, OUIGO Grande Vitesse, INTERCITÉS and TER services, with direct connections to Paris, Sète, Toulouse and Spain. Before you board, know the SNCF luggage rules: you must be able to carry all your bags yourself in one go, with a limit of two items up to 70 x 90 x 50 cm each plus one piece of hand baggage up to 40 x 30 x 15 cm. If you're travelling with more than that, leaving the surplus at the station's left-luggage office before you head to the platform is the sensible option. The platforms stay accessible from the first train to the last train in circulation, and the station has lifts and escalators to help you get between levels with heavy bags. The station itself is open from 04:45 to 00:30 Monday to Thursday, and slightly later, until 01:30, on Fridays, Sundays and public holidays.
