I think the comparisons would be more interesting if you used public transport exclusively. Cabs in France are so expensive and public transportation works generally well.

@@simonkile598As background info: The TGV service itself already stopped many domestic flights beginning in the 1980ies. Air Inter - the former domestic airline of France - went bankrupt due to the TGV AND the horrible accident approaching Strasbourg (missing a navigation point ). The private air company Air Inter complained often about "state subsidized railroads" but the public endorsed the fast trains. The TGV atlantique Strasbourg - Paris - Nantes - Brest started in its blue livery (decommissioned now) beginning of the 1990ies. Since then it ate most of domestic flights. The ban was just a bit on top not really affecting much. What I am wondering is why AF has Orly - Marseille as CDG - Marseille would be way better. You're faster at CDG via RER than in Orly and you can use that es extension leg to the final destionation for arriving international passengers wanting to go to Marseille. Air France replaced many of those last destination flights with TGV service and your flight coupon is also a TGV seat reservation.

Don't want to be pedantic but the law hasn't really done much, there was a lot of noise over nothing. It bans flying when a train service runs between the cities in 2.5 hours or less, but there has to be a certain number of services between them per day (I think 4 each way), and there must be a train running after a certain time in the day (I think 8pm but I'm not sure). On top of this, the airport is only classed as being "in the city" if it is a certain number of kilometres away. For example, Paris Orly counts as being "in Paris" so train times are measured from the main Paris terminals, but Charles de Gaulle, despite being the main Paris airport, is too far away, so the distance is measured from its closest train station (which is in the middle of nowhere and takes about an hour by itself to get into Paris). In fact, the law so only three flight routes banned (Paris Orly to Bordeaux, Nantes, and Lyon). Not quite an environmental win!

Taking taxis in Paris is the most unintuitive thing to do. From Le Louvre all he had to do was to take line 7 at Palais Royal Musée du Louvre to Villejuif Louis Aragon then Tramway 7 to Orly Airport. Zero extra cost if he bought a commuting pass, maybe 2x 2 euros if he paid on the spot. Sure it adds about 20 minutes but it doesn't change anything overall. The plane will still take off at the same departure time. Moreover if there is traffic the taxi can be slower and one might miss his flight.

why didn't we just start the race an hour early....thought the race was to see train vs. plane to Marseille not Louvre to airport/train....once we got past that nonsense it was fun...

Because the real test is city centre to city centre. Noone's final destination is an airport.

It's always good to see you racing. But, it was disappointing that there wasn't a pluffy pillow in sight 😢

as much as I like flying, there are several countries where internal flights are no longer justified - France and Spain being among those - and as long as the EU keeps on repeating those "carbon emission target" BS those flights should be replaced by high-speed rail. however, in Romania from Bucharest to Cluj / Timisoara (about 500 km by rail) the train takes 9h or 9h30 at best, while the plane only 30-45 minutes, so its again a no brainer here :))

Would always take a train over a plane, especially because of airport security. And I used to be a flight attendant
