The TGV (Train à Grande Vitesse)

The TGV (Train à Grande Vitesse) is France’s high-speed rail service, designed for fast and efficient travel between cities. It operates on specially-built and existing tracks, reaching speeds up to 320 km/h (200 mph). The trains feature aerodynamic designs that reduce air resistance, allowing them to glide smoothly at high speeds. Inside, they offer comfortable amenities similar to modern trains. The TGV significantly reduces travel times across France and neighboring countries, making long-distance journeys quick, eco-friendly, and convenient, and it has set several world speed records for rail travel.
