Before going inside the train you have too stamp your ticket composter. There is a machine at the beginning of the platform. If you forget just go directly to the controller inside the train. Almost all the stations have a room or lockers (consignes) where you can leave your luggage. It costs 4 to 9,5euros depending of the size. Bring some coins with you. Also you can bring your bike with you, contact the SNCF.
