Sorry for the stupid question.
Usually I travel by bus and never had problems bringing my wooden hiking pole. It went down into the luggage compartment.
Now for the first time I'll travel with the Eurostar (not from UK but via Belgium) and TGV (via Paris and Bordeaux to St. Jean). That's all new to me.
I'd love to bring my hiking pole with me. It's a classic wooden one with a metal tip.
I've heard that the Eurostar and TGV have more strict security rules than our German high speed trains, and am a bit worried that they won't allow my stick in the train?
Have had it for many years now and leaving it behind at the train station in case they do not allow it is no option.
Has anyone experience with this?
(I know I could just bring "modern" poles and put them into my pack, or buy a new stick in St. Jean. But I love the one I have and would prefer to use that one, if possible).
Thanks in advance!
