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”
- the section from Moret to Saint-Germain-des-Fossés of the line from Moret - Veneux-les-Sablons to Lyon-Perrache

and finally, the section from Riom - Châtel-Guyon to Clermont-Ferrand of the line from Saint-Germain-des-Fossés to Nîmes-Courbessac.
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.
