Today I'm going to be taking you on a First Class trip on the upper-deck of the TGV Lyria high-speed train, as I travel to amazing Switzerland in comfort and style, speeding through France at up to 320km/h!

My past experiences with the TGV trains operated by SNCF and Thalys have not been so good, but this Paris to Switzerland train was one that surprised me...
