Trenitalia France is significantly expanding its high-speed offer on the Paris–Lyon corridor, increasing weekday frequencies from nine to 14 roundatrips starting from 14 December 2025.
The Paris–Lyon uplift represents a 55% increase in weekday capacity, meaning Trenitalia will be operating more than one-third of services on one of Europe’s busiest routes.

Trenitalia has also been testing Frecciarossa 1000 trains on the route, offering over 900 seats per service.

Tickets went on sale yesterday (15 September) for travel through to mid-March 2026, starting from €23.
