There used to be one going directly from Northeastern France near Basel to South France Cerbere. It was the best one for going on vacation from Germany. They killed it because it wasnt profitable enough :/ Now you have to go through Paris which is a horrible stop to have to take.

You don't absolutely have to any more. There's a Strasbourg-Lyon TGV link. Less than 4 hours.

Thats only half the distance tho

Sure, but you avoid the Paris hassle. And get there quicker too, because it's TGVs all the way.

Taking the TGV from Strasbourg to Montpellier still gets you a Lot of painful slow legs inbetween. And they aren't very comfortable for long journeys.

Also the French Global Price system with Random timetables and mandatory Reservations Sucks badly
