←パリ鉄道ターミナルParis Rail Terminal
フランスの鉄道輸送はフランス国鉄（SNCF）がほぼ独占し、年間722億人・キロと旅客輸送数は
ヨーロッパ全域に於いても有数の地位にある。鉄道網はすべてパリを中心に構築され、地方
都市間の高速連絡列車は非常に少ない。パリには6つのターミナル駅が存在し、その行き先に
より分割されている。
TGVは主要都市間を結ぶ代表的なフランスの高速列車であり、1等車と2等車とがある。デザイン
性にも優れ快適ではあるが、カーブでの横揺れは強い。列車がすれ違いの時には強い衝撃波を
受けたあと、対向車は瞬時に消え去って行く。フランスは都市を抜けると黄色、緑の豊かな牧草地
が広がり、農業国としての一面を見せてくれる。しかし、レンヌ発マルセーユ行きの列車の整備は
良くない。特にガラスの汚れがひどい。放牧場の横では牛糞の臭いが車内にまで広がる。この
列車はパリのターミナル駅を経由せず、郊外を大きく迂回してマルセーユへ向かう。また、列車の
２階席はガラガラで、1階席がいっぱいなど予約の偏りが見られる。
リオンからシュトラースブルグへの線路は川に沿った丘陵地帯を走るが、一部に単線区間がある。
フランス国鉄は左側通行であるが、シュトラースブルグ近くで右側通行に変わる。ここはかって
ドイツ領となった歴史があり、また国境近いこともあってドイツ国鉄と同じ方式で運行している。
