LGV南東線
The LGV Sud-Est (French: "Ligne à Grande Vitesse Sud-Est"; English: "Southeast high-speed line)" is a French high-speed rail line which connects the Paris and Lyon areas. It was France's first high-speed rail line. The inauguration of the first section between Saint-Florentin and Sathonay-Camp by President François Mitterrand on 22 September 1981 marked the beginning of the re-invigoration of French passenger rail service.
