Taking the train from Paris to Morlaix, one of the most beautiful locations in Brittany, is fairly straightforward as TGV train journeys extend beyond the high speed line.
Note that these trains to Morlaix depart from the Gare-Montparnasse in Paris.

All trains also call at: Rennes
*As far as we can tell TGV Oceane trains are now used for most of the departures on this route, but here's a guide to how you can confirm, which type of TGV train you will be travelling by.
Mon -Thurs = 5 x trains per day

Trains departing at different times can be cheaper than others leaving on the same day, so you may need to look through the day's departures to find the cheapest fares.

Two TGV trains are normally joined together for the high speed part of the journey between Paris and Rennes
At Rennes the trains are separated, either one train (the front train) continues on to Brest (calling at Morlaix), or the second part of the train heads off to Sant-Malo.
So arrive at Paris Montparnasse at least 10 mins before the train departs and check the coach number on your ticket.
Your seat will be in this coach and you can check the coach number on the outside of the trains.
When two TGV trains are joined together, these can be exceptionally long trains, so you may have to walk some distance along the voie/platform; hence the advice to be at Paris Montparnasse at least 10 mins before the train departs!
When looking at the departure board you may see another train departing at the same time AND from the same voie/track as the train heading to Brest which will be calling at Morlaix.
This info is for the other train that will be attached to the Brest train between Paris and Rennes.
These trains use the LGV Bretagne-Pays de la Loire the new extension of the older high speed, so for the first 90 mins the train will be travelling at more than 280 km/h until it arrives in Rennes.
