The first French high-speed rail line opened in 1981, between Paris's and Lyon's suburbs. It was at that time the only high-speed rail line in Europe. As of December 2014, the French high-speed rail network comprises 2,037 km of ''Lignes à grande vitesse'' (LGV), and 670 km are under construction. ==Service history== In 1976, the government agreed to fund the first line. The LGV opened to the public between Paris and Lyon on 27 September 1981. Other LGVs are: *LGV Atlantique (LN2) to Tours/Le Mans (construction begun 1985, in operation 1989); *LGV Nord-Europe (LN3) to Calais and the Belgian border (construction begun 1989, in operation 1993); *LGV Rhône-Alpes (LN4), extending the LGV Sud-Est to Valence (construction begun 1990, in operation 1992); *LGV Méditerranée (LN5) to Marseille (construction begun 1996, in operation 2001); *LGV Est (LN6) from Paris to Strasbourg (first phase inaugurated on 15 March 2007 and in operation summer 2007); *LGV Perpignan-Figueras (in operation December 2010); *LGV Rhin-Rhône (LN7) (first phase opened 2011). High-speed lines based on LGV technology connecting with the French network have been built in Belgium, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「High-speed rail in France」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
