TGV

Time flies when you’re on a TGV. With peak speeds of 320 km/h, TGVs carry millions of passengers a year—business people, families and tourists who like the quiet ride, reliability and safety our high-speed trains have offered for three decades. With some 450 TGVs now serving 230 destinations, you can travel to major cities in France and across Europe and return the same day, alighting in the very heart of town.

• record-setting service that saves you time: Paris-Marseille in 3 hours 05 min, Paris-Lille in 1 hour 02 min
