The new line, which will run between Paris and Marseilles, is a retro-futurist dreamscape
Why ca n’t we have nice things ?
plainly existing would be enough . France ’s topnotch efficient high - upper rail system , or TGV , is already the envy of the mankind ( or at least the U.S. ) for its speedy service and tiny bottle of weirdly good wine . But now the body politic that excogitate the word smart ( this feels true , anyway ) has debut the first picture of its raw TGV - M line , which looks like the scope for aWes Anderson retro - futurist comedy , or the interior of a duncical furniture catalogue we can not afford and thereby toss . The muted people of colour palette ? Supreme . The edges ? Soft and rounded . The bar ? Two glorious history .
According to the SNCF , France ’s Department of State - possess railway fellowship , the trains are made out of 90 % recyclable fabric , deport up to 20 % more passengers , feature extra leg room and electrical exit for all serving levels , and contain a first balcony bistro with full sit - down service .

The TGV - M railroad car will begin armed service in former 2026 , consort to SNCF , and flow exclusively on the busy Paris - Lyon - Marseille corridor to start .
There is no worldly concern in which this lamp needs to look this goodness .
These cool blue curved shape on a splash banquette are fully unnecessary .

Is this a wine fridge on the way up to the first balcony bistro ? allow ’s just say yes .
