5 unusual facts about LGV Normandie


Grande Ceinture line

There are plans to build a TGV link between Normandy and l'aéroport de Roissy, using the LGV Normandie, the Grande Ceinture Nord until Stains, or a new interchange station onto the LGV Nord.

LGV Normandie

This "new" version of the LGV Normandie would begin in the Parisian suburb of Nanterre, on the regular Paris-Poissy line.

After Honfleur junction, the LGV would border the sea and a connection would serve Deauville.

The line would then follow the left bank of the river Seine until a triangle junction situated east of Honfleur; from here a line would cross the Seine between Normandy and Tancarville bridges, ending in a link which would enable service to Le Havre.

The line would then follow in large part the A14 and A13 motorways until Oissel, south of Rouen, where two links towards Rouen and perhaps a new station would be constructed.
