TGV trains are best, TER trains are the worst, others are tolerable. South of Paris the police are liberal and will only write down your name, birth date, etc., north of Paris you can expect to get arrested and have serious trouble if you really have no ID. If you don't mind a fine written to your name, the conductor will allow you to continue your journey with the same train, whether on a TGV or a TER train.
It is quite possible to speak with the driver and the controller before the train start and tell them you want a ride for free. Some of them are kind enough to let you in. [[User:Bikepunk|Bikepunk]] got better luck with TER than TGV with this technique so far.
[[User:Mipplor|Mipplor]] have hitchhike train from Luxembourg to Nancy,Lyon,Marseille,Monaco,Nice,Perpignan in Oct 2009. Actually 1/3 of his time was spent in the toilet to read newspaper.he was so lucky dog that no single inspector came to trouble me .Because of his occupation, one French guy got so angry to hold for so much time of his waste.
