INFOGRAPHIC - Thanks to the train, the plane and… teleworking, we can now live here and officiate there. Illustration with these anamorphic maps that reveal France according to the journey time by TGV.


For centuries, France had the same face.

And point-to-point travel times have, for generations, remained the same.

It took five days in summer and six in winter to go from Paris to Lyon.

How the TGV transformed France

In 1854 the Paris-Lyon line opened, and, 15 years later, it took only 9:17 a.m. to link the two cities.

In 1950, it took 5 hours, in 1960, 4 hours, and then it was the advent of the TGV in 1981 with a journey time reduced to 2 h 40 and 2 hours today.

And, since the TGV can also run on conventional lines, this saving of time benefits all destinations in the South-East.

The openings to Brittany, to the north and to the east of the TGV lines will continue to shape France and bring many regions of the capital closer together.

This radically changes the movement of men in the territory, whether for leisure or for work.
