Paris to Switzerland at 320 km/h: TGV Lyria train in first class

    This high-speed train connects France and Switzerland. Join me in first class as we check out the lounge in Paris, the unusually plush seat, and the service on board. Just don’t expect any fine dining in the lounge or in the bistro car!

    1. Not drinking on a train? It's like not drinking at a party! At least you got some tea down you gullet? Otherwise would not be so cool. Besides, I like drinking most things, for example, I like drinking sausce, it fuels me well. Not drinking on a train? Scary thought!

    2. You begin with a wrong assumption. Grand Voyageur lounges are not First class lounges. It is a lounge for frequent travelers who have the Grand Voyageur card.

    3. Paris first class lounge: no toilet seat, no food, no drinks, no WiFi…. Yeah, I would wait there, too. Can’t imagine what the rest of the station was like….
