I took this route in 1st class for as little as 37 euro back in January, very comfortable. It's a fast way of going to North/central Spain - or like I did a 7 day trip to Lisbon. Although the TGV arrivals into Hendaye don't seem to always align with the local Basque trains to San Sebastian. Gare de Montparnasse is utterly hideous, looks half built and makes London Euston look contemporary. Gare de Est & Nord are far nicer, Gare de Nord particularly so at night.
1970s architecture is divisive. The whole redevelopment area of Montparnasse (the tower, plaza, train station and housing projects) is still debated today.
not happening with our current loading gauge restrictions. Trust me man, I'd love to see TGV Duplexes or hell, even Swiss-style Stadler KISS sets, but the way our railway infrastructure's built out, it won't happen in a million years. Hell, there's even talk of making "captive" HS2 sets that can't be used anywhere outside the HS2.
Excellent report. Bordeaux was my old stomping grounds for three years, in Cestas Gazinet south of the city. Would love to take this new train, but will never leave the US again with all these new restrictions and hassles, it's not fun anymore. Love your channel.
Pays to buy in advance I'm going on this train in six weeks time. I bought it two weeks ago €29. Also first class. So looking forward to it. Thankyou for your very informative video.🚊😀
mind I ask why you've named you profile after Josef Stalin, who was a cold blooded tyrant who murdered at least 20 million Russians during his time as dictator of the USSR?
Good trip report, but what I don't understand is why Oui.SNCF says that the train is full loaded, while you went to the ticket machine and it says no there is a free 1st class seat available. What's the reason of this??
pas moyen de savoir à l'avance lequel on aura ? j'ai eu une 1ere pas cher sur un lyon Marseille en inouï mais j'espère avoir le nouveau et non l'ancien
MEANWHILE, in the USA, there are only two direct train lines from Chicago to New York City - in other words, from our third-largest metropolis to our first-largest - and they each only run three times a week, and they run at snail-speed. :-/
The maker of both old and new TGV trains, Alstom, has advertised a new generation of double-deck trains (called Avelia Horizon) which will be quite different from these Euroduplexes. They have a video on UA-cam with a preview. I would not be surprised if these are the replacement for the old single-deck TGVs.
as live in uk, enjoy travel on trains , hoping to return europe when things get better, when i in europe last 2 yrs ago i found using EURO RAIL ticket was useful such journey HAMBURG TO ZURICH AN D PARIS TO LONDON
Actually, they've done this trick for all classes of high speed trains in Japan way back from the 1980s. Wonder why the European railway operators cannot learn from this.
Hello, thank's for the video. Iam to travel Paris to Bordeaux April 5th 2020 (departure 14h) the price seems to be 171(eu) how do I get a reasonable price?
That is clearly the most organized seat-back tray I've ever seen. Is "Inoui" a play on "inouï" (in Canadian French it's "unheard of" or "all-time (best)")? The name is so close to "ennui" I'd be concerned bad reviews would be titled "Inoui? C'est l'ennui!" (or maybe that won't work in France French?)
CanuckJim Hi, communication agency has stated the following regarding rebranding of TGVs to « InOui »: "O" evokes a bubble of comfort and serenity; "Oui", our intention to say Oui (Yes); "nou", an evocation of « nous » ("us" », an echo of "let's get closer" to the SNCF group; "ino", our strong desire for innovation and digitalisation; "in", "to be in", to be in tune with the times; "Inoui" is the strength of this new customer promise, an aspirational promise in which everyone finds themselves". Yes it sounds bs and everyone laughed at this. 😂. Also there is a brand consistency with the low cost TGV offer called « OuiGo »
And yes of course in the end inouï as « unheard of » , « all time best » sends also a very positive image which aligns with the more premium image of this tgv offer
Yes. The idea is of the "inoui" expression, not sure why since the old name was good but yes you're right. I personally believe that it also makes for a good logo to export globally to non Latin-writing countries.
C'est bien que Alstom fasse enfin des sièges pivotants, dommage toutefois que ça ne soit qu'en première classe et qu'on ne puisse pas tourner les sièges individuellement comme dans les shinkansen au Japon. D'ailleurs je trouve qu'il y a très peu d'espace pour les jambes
Tes rails reports ressemblent tellement aux miens :-) Sauf que la review interieur, je la fais quand le train est à l'arrêt en gare et non plus quand il roule car c'est pour éviter de me faire prendre par les contrôleurs et de garder un mauvais souvenir du voyage… Belle vidéo sinon :-)
Les contrôleurs ne disent rien, j'ai déjà parler avec un contrôleur qui m'as demander ce que je faisait, je lui ai répondu il était content de ce que je faisait. Mais je pense que tout les contrôleurs ne répondent pas comme ca
Non ils ne répondent pas tous comme ça. Une fois ente Le Mans et Nantes, je faisais une review intérieur et je me suis fais choper par 3 contrôleurs dans les voitures de 1ère classe et ils m'ont demandé de supprimer les prises de vues réalisées montrant l'intérieur du train car on y voyais aussi les gens...

The seating looks first class but nothing special . All they have is a food service car dispensing ordinary food ? Nothing first class about that, it needs upgrading to a dining car with table service.
J'ai un gros coup de gueule à faire. Qu'est ce que les couples avec bébé qui font que de brailler pendant 3h foutent en première. Oh on est dans un train, pas dans un parc ou une garderie. Le prix de la place est déjà assez cher comme ça et la durée des trajets est assez longue comme ça, je pense qu'on mérite d'avoir du calme dans les wagons surtout en première. Le calme fait partie du confort de la 1ere. Hier, j'ai pris un paris Marseille en première, 3 couples avec bébé. De vrais irresponsables, les gamins faisaient que de gueuler et courir dans le courir. Honnêtement pour moi la première et la seconde c'est la même chose, même catégorie de personne. Tant que la SNCF ne fera pas d'espace tranquilles au calme comme faisait Ouigo, le tgv ça sera sans moi
Montparnasse , la gare en beton la plus laide de l'Europe (Lille Europe y inclus !) et In Oui = Ennui !! Mais le train est bon et tres vite, au moins jusqu'à Bordeaux - après le depart il se ralenti quelque peu jusqu'à Dax puis ressemble un escargot entre Dax et St Jean de Luz.
French trains are always to tight and narrow on the inside... Thalys is worst, so dark and narrow. Just love our German ICE trains, very roomy and spacious especially in first class.
ice may be more roomy, but the quality of materials and confort during high speed is inferior to the tgv. plus, this is a duplex train, not a single deck train. So it is more tight.
They thought of everything in the first class seat. It looks really good
How I miss French drains, especially the TGV’s. Even the older ones.
Very nice looking train! Loved all those features when you lowered the table... nice...
Thanks for sharing !!! :):):)
I love these trains. I wish one day I can travel all over Europe by train. Thanks for showing.

We are catching up it seems. Not as wealthy as Japanese maybe?
Many/most people just don't mind sitting with their back to the travel direction. So why bother to install that? Just an expensive gimmick.
How long is the journey from Paris to Toulouse by TGV?

Great video in a great train!
In a way, it's too bad the train is so fast, you don't get to enjoy it longer! :D
(By the way: GREAT IDEA to include USB port!!!)
where you able to choose the orientation of your seat? I'm having trouble finding that on the website seat map
PRM/disabled area is in coach 1/11 by the way. Coach 3/13 lower level is second class, as you already showed in another of your videos..
My friend, what is the difference between InOui and OuiGo trains?
Ouigo it's low cost (more seat, no first class, no wifi, no luggages allowed) Inoui it's a classic TGV with power outlet and wifi :)
@@SimplyRailway Thank you (Merci) my brother 👍
@@SimplyRailway Also, ouigo apparently departs from Disneyland rather than Paris Central.

are there intermediate stops along the way?
Some trains are direct between Paris and the final destination, some make stops.

Why to dismantle old TGVs ? Sell them to any developing country instead.
How much did the ride cost?
90€

You’ve got a hole in your trousers !
but the train that got the speed record was only 4 coaches not full set so it should not have speed record
I don't know why they haven't rolled this interior out to all TGVs, some of the older sets are getting very dated.
Tous ces voyages doivent coûter cher quand même.
Après vu qu’il fait ça souvent il a peut-être un abonnement TGV Max
I could ride train half the year.
Great video, but Pease in future just use normal text effect. This appearing/disappring text is so annoying! It distracts from viewing the video.
