Navan <\/strong>has published its 2026 Business Travel Barometer, based on its own booking data. In France, rail accounts for 85.6 % of domestic business journeys. This figure places the country fifth in Europe, behind Belgium (99.8 %), the Netherlands (99.6 %), Switzerland (97.8 %) and the United Kingdom (91.1 %), but well ahead of Austria (83 %), Germany (70 %), Italy (66.7 %) and Spain (49 %).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Zahir Abdelouhab, Senior Vice President EMEA at Navan, this dominance of rail is driven above and beyond environmental goals by travellers making a pragmatic calculation. \u00ab The productivity gain and convenience offered by the TGV network end up winning people over<\/em> \u00bb, he explains. He highlights in particular the lack of airport security checks, the saving on transfers between the airport and the city centre, and the possibility of working without interruption thanks to a stable Wi-Fi connection on board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
