Intercités trains are traditional SNCF express trains connecting cities across regions in France. They serve longer distance routes than TER regional trains, but they are slower than TGV high-speed trains. Fares are generally lower on Intercités trains than on TGV trains, but comfort is still good: spacious, quiet, and generally punctual. Here's what it's like riding an Intercités train. For example, travel between Paris's Gare d'Austerlitz and Orléans's Gare d'Orleans or Gare Les Aubrais (125 km/78 miles) takes about one hour; from Paris to Limoges, about three hours.
