Pro
IconConvenience
IconInternet
IconBoard restaurant
Cons
IconDelay
IconSeat selection
IconRubbish
Compared to the DB, there was good wifi and power sockets within easy reach on the train. It's difficult without a seat reservation, you have to keep moving around. Nevertheless, the seats were very comfortable. The staff were courteous, but there was some rubbish in the corridors and especially in the toilet. The rubbish bins could be emptied more regularly. Due to roadworks, the train had to divert to a different route, which caused delays.
Pro
IconComfort
Cons
IconOn-board restaurant
On the train journey from Paris to Munich. We had a power socket and wifi. The wifi was OK👌 it was very quiet and calm. We had plenty of legroom and it was almost empty on the train. The staff were nice, but unfortunately the on-board restaurant only served chips. The toilets were very clean and modern. Unfortunately, we were delayed by 2 hours due to track works. Overall, and for 1st class, the price-performance ratio was excellent.
Pro

I found it very nice, I was on TGV9576 and left at 11:09. It was nice and clean and the people didn't make a ruckus. Once again I was travelling for about 5 hours. The people were very nice, it was just a bit noisy at the beginning of the journey.

Cons
IconPricewise okay
As with the journey to Paris, the journey back was beautiful. It was a beautiful view again, only this time I could concentrate more on the view within France and it was really peaceful. The wifi also worked without any problems and the service was nice and this time they spoke in English or French. Some people could also speak German, which I thought was really great
Pro

The TGV 9577 departed from Paris half an hour late, which is not bad on a journey of almost 5 hours. The TGV travelled to Munich with 5 stops, I didn't have to change trains to get to Munich. The toilets were very hygienic and even wheelchair accessible. The staff on the train were polite and nice, they helped me connect to the internet. I would recommend everyone to book a seat.

Pro
IconFast drive
Cons
IconExpensive in terms of price
I travelled on TGV9577 and before the start of the journey I was relatively happy to be travelling on one of the TGV trains again, as I've always had a good experience. Unfortunately, this was not the case on this journey to Munich, as the train was dirty, the on-board bistro was not open and the service was also rather sporadically good-humoured. What's more, the price I had to pay for my ticket was relatively high.
Pro
IconGreat train
IconVery quiet
IconDrives very fast
Cons
IconA little wobbly
IconVery full
IconLittle legroom
I think the TGV was a really great train. It's a bit outdated, but it's very nice. It travels quite fast through France at around 300 km/h. There is also a lounge with hot and cold drinks at the Gare de l'est station in Paris. The cleanliness of the train and the toilet left a lot to be desired. The staff are very nice, but unfortunately not everything is available in the board bistro. In terms of value for money, it is a very good train journey for the price.
Pro
IconEasy booking
Cons
IconExpensive
Despite the fact that the ticket was expensive, I found it very easy to book. I really liked the fact that I didn't have to change trains and reached my destination quickly. I also liked the cleanliness of the toilets and the very good wifi, which allowed me to watch films.
Pro
IconClean
Cons
IconDelay
It was very pleasing to see that there was no dirt or leftover food on the benches. However, it was unpleasant that the train was delayed for some time. The staff helped me a lot and were very nice in my opinion. The price-performance ratio is very good. In conclusion, I would give it four stars and recommend the journey despite the delay. The journey took just under 6 hours.
Pro
IconService staff
Cons
IconCleanliness/ hygiene on the train
On my train journey from Paris to Munich, I enjoyed the comfort of the seats on the train and the friendly service. Unfortunately, the cleanliness on the train was not the best. The journey time was pleasant, but the price-performance ratio could be better. Nevertheless, a journey worth recommending
