between which two places did the first railway line in france run?

Answer 1

Between Paris, St Lazare and Le Pecq opened 26/08/1837

Answer 2

The history of rail transport in France dates from the first French railway in 1832 to present-day enterprises such as the TGV.

French railways started later, and developed more slowly than those in other nations. While the first railway built in France was in operation in 1832, not long after the first line had opened in Britain, French progress failed to keep pace over the next decade.

After the war of 1870 the French rail system was overhauled and made far more efficient. By 1914 the French rail system was a match for Germany's and played a crucial part in France's victory in the First World War.

In the 1930s Léon Blum's socialist government nationalised the French rail system, along with many other industries, and the transport system was successful in World War II.

After the war the French train system began a slow movement to electric trains. Eventually TGV high speed trains were introduced providing extremely quick links between France's urban centers.
