Crowded carriages, saturated stations, Internet application on the brink of rupture… All those who traveled by train this summer in France are witnesses to it: the good old rail has been acclaimed by the French. Whether they take the small lines or the main lines, whether they are in flip-flops or mountaineering shoes, with the family or alone, they have enabled the SNCF to beat an attendance record. Quite a revenge for this 84-year-old lady whom our compatriots love to criticize.
