Welcome aboard this Intercity service linking Paris-Gare-de-Lyon to Clermont-Ferrand. Pulled with ease by a valiant BB26000, the 14 cars of this express will cover the 419km linking the City of Lights to the Puy-de-Dôme prefecture in just over 3 hours.
We will successively take the following lines or sections of lines:
- the section from Paris-Gare-de-Lyon to Moret-Veneux-les-Sablons of the line from Paris-Lyon to Marseille-Saint-Charles, known as the “imperial artery”

Opened in 1858, its history has fluctuated over the years. It was only in 1990 that the entire route was fully electrified, followed by the opening of 200 km/h sections in 2008.

Please note, the trains starts in the Gare-de-Lyon, the station is however incorrectly labelled as Bercy. The stations are however practically side by side.
