OK, thanks to @bohwaz for clearing up the SNCF luggage rules

See pages 35 and 178 of SNCF's terms of carriage - PDF https://www.sncf-voyageurs.com/medias-publics/2024-07/tarifs-voyageurs-version-5-juillet-2024-VDEF-FR.pdf

Your luggage needs to VISIBLY indicate your name, and NOTHING ELSE

Note: despite SNCF's own luggage labels having a field for telephone number, this is NOT OBLIGATORY

Also the name being visible would be - for example - covered by you writing the name directly on the bag. It does not have to be a separate label

Also via @bohwaz "Ces dispositions ne s'appliquent pas aux effets ou menus objets que le voyageur conserve à sa disposition immédiate." - the name requirement does not apply to bags you have right with you

But it DOES apply to each of the bags covered by the luggage rules (1 small, 2 large bags) and - for example - were you to leave a handbag on a seat and go to the toilet, SNCF staff could still get arsey

A mess

Want to be sure? Luggage tag ONLY WITH YOUR NAME ON IT, and ON ALL YOUR BAGS
