The design may be dated, but electrically-operated reclining seats is not something you find in a lot of European trains, even in first class. Luxurious!

@MarkusTravels Ай бұрын

Yes, I like it a lot!

TGV is actually translated as "High-Speed Train" (rather than Great) inOui is pronounced "Een Ou Oui" a play on the word inouï meaning extraordinary, incredible, sensational.

Very good. My French is terrible, as it's only my fifth language.

@@MarkusTravels that's terrible, I hope you speak more than 5 languages to make up for that :p

That’s not a new model

@MarkusTravels Ай бұрын

Indeed. But the InOui branding was new to me.

Its actually the old 1st class as i do believe the new 1st class hasen't been fully deployed yet.

@MarkusTravels Ай бұрын

I sure want to try the new product soon!

@@MarkusTravels From what I checked it’s for the tgv named « TGV Océane ». You can do some search about it (if you want). And I tried once and personally I liked it. The best thing is (if you have it) is to check the train information to see if it’s a normal duplex tgv you got or the Oceane (I’m pretty all of the Oceane tgv got the new 1st class but I’m not sure but I do think it’s for that TGV in particular as others one (especially the one going from Paris to Lyon will be replaced by the TGVM once it releases)
