I am sometimes accused of overthinking things. I am still mulling over whether that accusation has merit.

check on TGV Europe they pull their prices from the official SNCF french website. With a quick search I found a OW for 66 euros.

not sure if by tgv u mean the website i just wrote about or the actual tgv which is the french acronym for super fast trains. tgv is just the type of train u r riding. most of the ones in europe and france are TGV now.

website is working fine by me...

TGV has its own high speed trains.

TGV is not a train operator (SNCF is); it is a type of high speed train
