This new offer would be based on a<strong> improve its Business 1st<\/strong> offered to passengers on this route, the most lucrative for the railway company. This decision was apparently taken in the face of an increasingly pressing offensive from competitor Trenitalia. Trenitalia operates 5 daily round trips in 2 hours between Paris and Lyon Part-Dieu (3 of which continue as far as Lyon Perrache) and is attacking the luxury business and leisure segment with the 10 seats in its Executive class, with spaced leather seats that rotate 180\u00b0 and offer a catering service. This coach also houses the Sala Meeting, a meeting room that can be reserved for 2 to 5 people during the journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<aside class=\"wp-block-varenne-link-block\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.voyages-d-affaires.com\/en\/sncf-trenitalia-bataille-paris-milan-20250122.html\/\" data-id=\"190333\">Read also: Battle brewing between SNCF and Trenitalia over the Paris-Milan route<\/a><\/p><\/aside>\n\n\n\n<p>With this likely new class, SNCF also intends to target business customers and affluent customers who still have the means to pay ever more for TGV travel.
