Is 1st class worth it from Lyon to Paris

We are travelling to Paris in December 2009 and was wondering if it is worth getting 1st class seats for the 5 of us ( 2 adults,3 youth) and what configuration the seats are?

I wouldn%26#39;t bother for that short a trip. Although, you can sometimes get very low prices on first class seats by booking ahead at www.voyages-sncf.com





The PREM and other low prices seats usually start showing up about 90 days ahead of your dates.

2nd class on the TGV is worth a look. I avoid airports and freeways whenever I can.

TGV Duplex 6603 6:54AM Paris Gare Lyon, France



23 Sep 8:51AM Lyon Part Dieu, France, 1hr 57min





Sample timetable, either 1 h 57 minutes or 2 hrs 15 minutes. Is it worth it , up to you.

Recently returned from Lyon to Paris on the 2nd class %26#39;top deck%26#39; of a TGV and by the time you%26#39;ve eaten your baguette, had a drink and read a couple of chapters of your book you%26#39;ll be in Paris.



The train%26#39;s so quick and smooth - it%26#39;s a great experience.
