Paris-Milan train resumes service 19 months after its interruption

After a 19-month interruption due to a landslide in the Maurienne Valley in the French Alps, the rail link between Paris and Milan resumed Monday morning, with almost full trains departing from the French capital. The first two TGV trains left the Gare de Lyon in Paris for Milan at 6:46 a.m. and then at 9:46 a.m., taking just over seven hours to reach the Lombard capital, passing through Macon, Chambéry, Modane, Oulx and Turin.
