The decree banning domestic flights between destinations connected by a train journey of less than two and a half hours came into force on Tuesday. The rule will mean the elimination of air routes between Paris and cities such as Nantes, Bordeaux or Lyon.
The Minister of Transport, Clement Beaune, said on his Twitter account that the publication of the standard is "a great signal and a world first" Certain sectors of French climate activism have criticized that the ban is not enough, and that it should go further.
