SNCF Station: G1:30-35:

On the right side of the main hall, when you enter the station from the city side (the location of the tram stop) - is a passage that can accommodate quality food stores and special take-out counters. (If you want to travel long distances, buy some food from here, it will be better than any food you find on the train). This passage is also the connection to the SNCF part of the station - from where the TER and the local trains on the route to Mulhouse and Strasbourg leave. Please note that the Lyria trains to Dijon and Paris do not leave here, they depart from the main SBB station.

The SNCF platform / gleis / track 30-35 are at the street level - and this part of the station has a separate role. You have to go through a sliding door and enter the train under the sign "France" - then you will pass through the pretty SNCF departure hall.

When taking the train from this SNCF part of the train station, you must remember to print your ticket on the machine at the platform/fire entrance.
