Paris to Annecy Route Overview

This route combines the LGV Sud-Est high-speed corridor with slower conventional tracks approaching the Alpine foothills. The contrast between the high-speed section and the final approach through Savoie is a defining feature of the trip. Every TGV INOUI ticket includes a reserved seat; there is no non-reserved carriage. Direct trains avoid the station change or connection that some alternative itineraries require.

Paris to Annecy Map

The route leaves Paris Gare de Lyon and uses the LGV Sud-Est before continuing on conventional lines toward Savoie and Haute-Savoie. Intermediate calls vary; selected trains serve Aix-les-Bains-Le Revard before Annecy. The high-speed section crosses agricultural landscapes, while the final approach enters hillier terrain. Consult the selected departure for its exact stopping pattern.
