The Paris – Bordeaux line has been connecting the capital with the southwestern French port city via Orléans and Tours over a distance of 584 kilometers since 1853 . It was the most important main line of the Compagnie du chemin de fer de Paris à Orléans .

The route begins at Austerlitz train station and is one of the most important in the country. It was electrified between 1925 and 1938, the Paris – Étampes section has had four tracks since 1910. Today it can be driven largely at speeds of 200 km / h, in sections even up to 220 km / h.

The TGVs use the high-speed line LGV Atlantique from Montparnasse station between Paris and Tours , which has led to a significant reduction in the number of passengers at Austerlitz station.

The capacity of the section between Tours and Bordeaux is exhausted by the use of the route by train types of different speeds. The situation is expected to improve significantly with the commissioning of LGV Sud Europe Atlantique in mid-2017. The track is equipped with the Block Automatique Lumineux security system.

A special feature are two terminal stations , Orléans station and Tours , which are not served by all long-distance trains. Mainly the long-distance trains Paris-Bordeaux stop in the suburbs Aubrais- Orléans and Saint-Pierre-des-Corps (Tours).

The route is used by different types of trains:
