From Bordeaux to Marseille by SNCF Intercités

Welcome to another exciting video on our channel! Join me as I embark on a 6-hour journey from Bordeaux to Marseille on a classic SNCF Intercités train in first class. Get ready to experience the charm of southern France, slow-comfort style, and onboard gastronomy.

We kick off the adventure at the iconic Bordeaux St Jean station, a historic masterpiece built in the 19th century. The Intercités is pulled by a BB 7200 locomotive and consists of nine Corail coaches, each with its own unique character. Join me as we take a walk through the colourful assortment of passenger carriages, including refurbished ones from different regions. I'll be enjoying the journey in a plush first-class coach, with its comfortable seating and ample tray table. We'll travel through breathtaking landscapes and make stops at several stations along the way, including Toulouse, Carcassonne, and Montpellier. While the train does face some delays, it gives us a chance to admire the Mediterranean scenery and observe the local flora.

Although there is no dining car on this train, fear not! A trolley service makes its way through the train, offering a variety of snacks, beverages, and even Nespresso-style coffee. It's the perfect opportunity to indulge in some onboard gastronomy.

Sit back, relax, and let's embark on this retro adventure together. Don't forget to like this video, subscribe to our channel for more exciting travel content, and hit that notification bell, so you never miss an update. Stay tuned for more thrilling journeys ahead. Bon voyage!
