Le vrai problème de la LGV de Bordeaux-Toulouse

Bordeaux to Toulouse by train is a long journey. Paris to Toulouse by train is a long journey. Metz to Toulouse by train is a long journey. Well, it's always a long journey to Toulouse, and it's not that the Pink City hates speed, it's simply that it's very isolated and the high-speed rail project, which began in the 1980s, raises questions about funding, biodiversity protection, airplanes, and even Marmande tomatoes. So, since it's not that simple, we found a solution. And that solution is Maëlys de La Ruelle, who has a passion for trains and a stable internet connection. So, she opened a bunch of tabs, called Aurélien Bigo, a researcher on the energy transition in transportation, and together they untangle the issues related to this line.
