You must not, however we recommend you to contact us before your trip for the reasons detailed after.
For international journeys, we advise to informed us about your trip in order to guaranty assistance during the complete journey.
For international journeys without mandatory seat booking : we recommend to identify yourself as PRM (person with reduced mobility) as you are eligible for specific services.

We wish to offer all our clients with the same quality of service, thus we align offer according to your needs. We recommend you to inform us in advance about your trip, for the following reasons :

We are currently renewing our train fleet, which means the oldest ones are not equipped to welcome wheelchairs. Once informed, we can take the necessary steps to help you travel in the most comfortable way. a change of platform, for instance, to insure access or the preparation of an alternative offer.
Most stations were built when the ease of access for everybody was not a priority. We are modernizing our facilities in this direction, however works are performed station after station. Therefore we cannot yet guaranty access to each one of our facilities. When we are informed, we can share details about the current level of accessibility of your facilities and advise on the best way to commute.
With an exponential increase of clients within the last years, we are working on maintaining and improving the quality of our infrastructure and of our service. This implies regular maintenance and constructions works leading to traffic stop, and sometime to block access to our facilities. During construction we might have to stop train traffic and replace them by buses. In such cases, we cannot ensure transport of PRM, however by informing us in advance, we can organize alternative transportation.
Indeed organizing alternative transportation requires a bit of time : we need to know where you are, where you wish to go to and what type of support you need.
