An extremely popular way to travel in France and Europe is by Train.

Using TGV (Train a grande vitess) one of the fastest trains in the world, is a great way to travel within France and neighbouring counties and view the scenery.  It connects over 150 cities at the speed of about 320 mph.

To get an idea you can travel from Paris to Geneva in about 3 hours and 45 minutes, or a Paris to Nice trip is about 6 hours.

There are first and second class options when you book your ticket.  First class gives you more seating and luggage space with reclining seats.  Depending on the length of your trip a meal may also be included.
