SNCF is French society of railways. It is the only French railway company, but today the company has split into different branches to better meet the needs of its customers.

And then the TGV line is only 40 minutes by bus to take you to Marseille, Bordeaux or even Rennes without correspondence. Perhaps one day France will see a new railway company coming into existence?
