Trenitalia Expands High-Speed Rail Service in France with Paris-Marseille Line

Starting June 15, Trenitalia will offer four daily round trips on the Paris-Marseille route, challenging SNCF with competitive pricing and dynamic ticketing.

Trenitalia's new Paris-Marseille high-speed train service begins on June 15, 2025, with tickets starting at €27 for standard class and €37 for business class.
The service will include four daily round trips, stopping at Lyon, Avignon, and Aix-en-Provence, and completing the journey in just 3 hours and 20 minutes.
This expansion builds on Trenitalia's existing Paris-Lyon-Milan route, which launched in 2021, and reflects growing competition in France's high-speed rail market.
Trenitalia's dynamic pricing strategy mirrors SNCF's model, with ticket prices adjusting based on train occupancy rates.
The opening of the Paris-Marseille line is part of broader competition in European rail markets, which has already led to lower ticket prices and increased travel options for passengers.
