18 min to the 12th-Century - Taking the TGV within France on days trips from Paris

The time machine although a novel by H.G. Wells was set in fiction, today it can be no longer just a fiction. 
The modern day Time Machine is the ultra fast French train,the TGV. At speed of over 200 miles per hour, you can base yourself in Paris and do day trips to almost anywhere in France and be back the same day for dinner in Paris. 

Visit the 1st century ( Roman ) Provence , or the 17th-Century Napoleonic era or 20th Century Battlefields of Normandy are all possible and every Century in-between.
