Hi, I'm a big fan of the TGV Atlantique sets that still run in France (I managed to cab one in 2019) and I'd love to get on one someday. Given there aren't that many running anymore, which routes am I most likely to get one of these on? Please let me know if I've posted this in the wrong place.

Thanks

Do you mean specifically Atlantiques, or does this extend to Reseaus too, which are pretty much identical just in slightly shorter formations :)

Preferably Atlantiques, but Reseau routes would be useful as well. Can you do a couple of categories such as Atlantique only, Reseau only and possibly both if applicable?

You'll find most at Montparnasse, from memory don't think they work out of other stations

For sure Paris Montparnasse-Brest, Quimper, St-Maloh, they share allocations with the Euroduplex. 1922 from Brest to Paris is always an Atlantique set, 2358 from Paris to Brest as well (yes, some TGVs do indeed run red-eye).

Some will also run Paris Montparnasse-Tours Centre

To check what type, on SNCF connect select a first class fare and open the seat map.

If you end up looking at all-table configuration, it's an Atlantique set. On those runs, most of everything else is a 2nd (Dayse) or 3rd (Euroduplex) gen all-refurbed Duplex.

SNCF Connect also shows the exact train type for TGVs, including if it's a single or double set, through the journey details or station timetables sections.

I think all Montparnasse - Tours trains are Atlantiques

Is that on the app or website?
