First Time On Low Cost High-Speed Train From Paris to Lyon - Is Lyon Better Than Paris? [Ep.55]
In this episode, Sayu Rinpoche boards the SNCF Low Cost High Speed Train from Paris to Lyon - The Second Largest City of France. What Makes A Low Cost Train Different from a Regular High Speed Train? Once arriving in Lyon, Sayu Rinpoche discovers two world class attractions - Notre Dame of Lyon (Basilique Notre-Dame de Fourvière) and the Gallo Roman Amphitheatre - both are right next to each other and totally free to visit! The first day of Lyon is recapped at local Bouchon Comptoir Abel - where late celebrity chef Anthony Bourdain filmed a segment of his world renowned TV series "Parts Unknown" !

One of the best cities in Europe outside the "major capitols", I've debated retiring there as they have one of the best bike/transit systems..
I've got this booked for September; booked it on trainline.
Lyon is at the confluence of the main river (le Rhône) and its big tributary (la Saône). During the Gallo-Roman period it was the capital of Gaule (France).

Hi thanks for watching buddy. 🙏 I remember there was a direct bus from Gare de Lyon to Trocadero, where you could access Tour Eiffel. Just use Google maps and it should give you the most up to date information!
I wanted to travel from Lyon to Paris. I wanted to know how to book tickets for this train ? Can it be booked at the counter or is there any app?

Hi I think you'll need to purchase either on their website or the app. I believe the app is called "OUIGO". Because it's a low cost service, I don't think you'll find a counter at the station to buy the tickets. Hope it helps!
we are thinking on taking this route to make our way from Paris to Barcelona.. break up a long train ride and get to visit Lyon. We are a family of 6.

Hi are you planning to buy the ticket for low cost high speed train? I think since you can only buy them online so yes you'll need to purchase in advance! I suggest you should buy them as early as possible since the low cost tickets do sell out fast (FYI I wasn't able to secure a ticket for the subsequent train trip from Lyon to Marseille!)
How long is the trip ?

Try getting a 20 Euro ticket to Nice. More like 200.

Nice is a tricky destination to get to. The "high speed" service between Marseille and Nice isn't really high speed due to the railway running along a rather treacherous coast. I ended up taking a local Provence regional train and didn't really lose that much time (if I did lose any at all). If you are referring to the service between Paris - Nice, I wouldn't even bother taking the train. I'd go with flying since it's cheaper and takes less time
That mask is depressing, I hope we never need it again
