These TGVs are now the only direct trains between Lyon and Strasbourg.
The daily train at 11:32 departs from Lyon-Perrache station and not from Lyon-Part-Dieu station.
Final Destination: Strasbourg or Frankfurt or Luxembourg or Metz
The trains which are usually due to depart from Lyon at 08:34 and 18:04 also call at Colmar
The train departing at 10:00 will be the DB-SNCF international service heading to Francfort/Frankfurt, but in France this train is operated no differently to the other TGV InOui services.
Though it is the the only train of the day not to call at Dijon - the other four departues do call there - where they reverse direction.
The train will travel at up to 285 km/h on the first phase of the journey between Lyon and Macon and then it uses the LGV Rhin-Rhone between the outskirts of Dijon and Mulhouse.
If you are new to travelling by train in France, our French Train Travel Guide is packed with info and useful links to help ensure you’ll have a stress-free trip.
