This is France's classic LGV Sud-Est spine: Paris Gare de Lyon to Lyon Part-Dieu in 1h 56m fastest, typically about 2h, on this page's glance box. Glance operators are TGV inOui and OUIGO; the facts card also lists TGV INOUI / Trenitalia — Frecciarossa now shares the corridor. The FAQ says Trenitalia Frecciarossa often offers cheaper premium seats, but TGV has more departures.
Glance fares already say from about €10, typical €15–€45, with a 120-day-style book-ahead hint on the card. The booking tip is explicit: OUIGO for the lowest advance fares, inOui for flexibility. OUIGO luggage is stricter in practice than INOUI; the glance still prints no baggage cap as a generic field, so confirm the live offer before you pack.
Gare de Lyon is the Paris terminal — not Montparnasse (Atlantique) or Nord (Eurostar). Part-Dieu is the practical Lyon station for this pair, not Perrache, unless search says otherwise.
