Paris to Le Mans by train

Note that these trains to Le Mans depart from the Gare-Montparnasse in Paris.

Final Destination: Le Mans or Rennes or Nantes or Brest, or Quimper, or Le Croisic

*A mix of the new TGV Oceane and the older TGV Atlantique trains are used for these Paris to Le Mans high speed services, but here's a guide to how you can confirm which type of TGV train you will be travelling by.

There are now also three low-cost Ouigo train services per day from Paris to Le Mans, there are scheduled to depart at 08:24; 14:24 and 15:15.

Those Ouigo services are more basic than these InOui trains, though they won't particularly matter for this comparatively short journey.
What will impact on the journey if you take those Ouigio services, is the need to 'check-in' prior to departure, which makes the total journey time around 30mins slower.
