Is there a bagage check in Sens?
 
We'll be passing through Sens on the way from Dijon to Paris.

Thanks,

Bruce

And you want to know if some official people will get on the train to look
at your bags?

How quaint

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic, but it's just another term for
left-luggage.

I wouldn't count on it. A useful website for finding out station
facilities in France is http://www.gares-en-mouvement.com/ but it
doesn't include Sens, as far as I can tell. I've been at a few smaller
train stations recently in France which didn't have the service. I don't
think the sncf website is particularly helpful for finding out this
information- and they have an odd sense of humour in displaying a place
on their front page (at the moment) which isn't accessible by train...

Not in Europe.


You knew what he meant.

Anyway where did he mention trains?


He didn't. It's a safe assumption.

Sens is another country within France??

No one told me!

-----------
If a country or not, he's probably just looking for a left luggage service
in Sens being on the route from Dijon to Paris.
Reason to believe that o.p wants to make a short stop in Sens.

Not at all, but going by car you've probably not so much reason to ask for
left luggage service.

You knew what he meant.


To be honest, initially I didn't.


Well, you learned something then! :)

It is useful, as some Americans will look at you oddly in the US when
you ask where "left-luggage" is. I think they call it parcel check at NY
Penn station...


Anyway where did he mention trains?

No assumption is safe on RTE when daft questions are being asked. I assumed
troll.


If I bother to answer a question on RTE, I'm not really doing it for the
person asking the question. (Though Bruce K is not an unknown poster
here, and not a troll IME.) I'm doing it for a wider readership, though
ultimately myself- IOW, what would I do to find out if a French station
had left luggage...

I can't recall ever having to ask.

I did say initially, I recalled something I knew already. :)

or a town?


Just to back you up ever so slightly on this, despite having lived in all
manner of countries (except for the US), I was as clueless as you were about
the original enquiry.
