About the TGV (Train a grande vitesse)
· The aerodynamic carriages travel on a speed track, which has only a few bends or inclines, this is how the train can reach high speeds safely without crashing
· All passengers travelling on this train must be seated
· You need to reserve a seat on this train (réserver votre place)
· You can buy a single ticket (un aller simple) or a return ticket (un aller retour), first or second class
Like all French train tickets you need to stamp it in a machine prior to getting on the train.( composter votre billet)
· The driver of the TGV has a screen, like a radar which shows the track ahead. This means that the train can be brought to a halt in time if anything is on the track.
