Background

History of TGV

The TGV, or Train à Grande Vitesse, revolutionized rail travel in France when it was first introduced by SNCF in 1981. However, the vision for high-speed travel began much earlier, with research and testing conducted throughout the 1960s and 70s. The inaugural TGV line between Paris and Lyon set new standards for speed and efficiency. With continuous advancements, including the development of new routes and technological improvements, the TGV has become a symbol of France's dedication to innovation in transportation, significantly enhancing connectivity across the nation and beyond.
