Artésia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

TGV Artésia is a service branding and joint venture between France and Italy. Trains are staffed by Trenitalia in Italy and SNCF in France. The bar/restaurant service is operated by Cremonini. As of 2007, routes include service between Paris Gare de Lyon and Paris-Bercy to Turin, Milan, Venice, Florence, Rome, and intermediate cities. Service to Milan operates via both Dijon (Vallorbe-Simplon line) and Lyon/Turin, while Venice, Florence, and Rome are only served through Dijon. Trains traveling through Dijon are night trains; those traveling through Lyon and Turin are day trains.

With an estimated completion date of 2018, three new LGV tunnels through the Alps are in the process of being engineered and built and will decrease the travel time between Lyon and Turin.
