  • From the Port of Strasbourg, a thin line runs to the purple circle/red triangle at Dijon Gevrey (linked to the green circle at Chavornay by a dotted line). From Dijon Gevrey, a double line continues to Lyon (purple circle/red triangle), where one branch goes to Marseille (green circle) and the other to Fos-sur-Mer (purple circle). Lyon is also linked to Clermont -Ferrand (purple circle) by a dotted line.
