High speed rail from Tours -Bordeaux



Work has just started on the LGV (ligne à grande vitesse) from Tours to Bordeaux). This rail project will connect to the exist high speed rail line from Tours to Paris. When it opens in 2016 Paris to Bordeaux will take just 2 hours 5 minutes to cover the around 600 kms. Eventually there are plans to extend the high speed line down into Spain. 

More details here and here.
