What TGV Lyria is

TGV Lyria is the dedicated France–Switzerland high-speed brand, a joint operation of SNCF and SBB. It is not a generic domestic TGV: the product, reservation rules and Swiss connections are specific to this corridor. Direct Paris → Geneva is about 3h 10m on Lyria (confirm live times in search).

Key routes

Book from this hub to Paris → Geneva and Paris → Basel. Lyria also serves Lausanne and Zurich; Swiss onward travel is SBB (Glacier / Bernina panorama trains need their own reserved seats).

Pass vs point-to-point ticket

Every Lyria ticket includes a reserved seat (Standard, Standard 1ère, Business 1ère). Interrail/Eurail is valid with a compulsory paid reservation. A Swiss Travel Pass covers domestic SBB after you arrive, not the Lyria seat from Paris — buy the international ticket (or passholder reservation) separately.
