PARIS to LYON the Old Way. - A Classic French Railway Journey

Step aboard with me on a classic journey from Paris-Bercy to Lyon-Part-Dieu on a Regiolis, Class Z54500, one of the most modern regional trains in France! 🚄 Departing bright and early from Paris, we cover the 500 km route in just over five hours, making a few stops along the way before crossing the Rhône and rolling into Lyon’s Part-Dieu station right on time. Along the ride, I’ll share some history of the legendary Imperial Paris–Lyon railway, from its 19th-century origins to its electrification at 1500 V DC, and talk about the glory days of the "Le Mistral", the iconic train that once ruled this line before the TGV era. 👀 Expect: ✅ Beautiful Burgundy and Rhône scenery ✅ A full train and seat tours ✅ The trip in detail ✅ Historical context that makes this journey special #Paristolyontrain #traintravel #sncf #railway #travel #regiolis #TER #trainhistory #traintechnology ---------- Twitter: twitter.com/worldwide_p_ Buy Me a Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/worldwide.p ---------- Filmed in February 2025 Available in 4K ---------- Chapters: 00:00 – Intro 00:28 – Paris-Bercy 01:28 – Regiolis and Class Z54500 03:08 – Boarding 03:23 – Departure and Trip Map 04:37 – Train Tour 05:55 – Seat Tour 06:21 – Brief History of the Paris-Lyon line 09:53 – Dijon-Ville 10:56 – Train Schedules 12:51 – Lyon – Part Dieu & My impressions of the trip
