The Jules Verne was an express train that linked Paris and Nantes in France. Operated by the Société Nationale des Chemins de fer français (SNCF), it was the last new Trans Europ Express (TEE) to be introduced, in 1980.
The train was named after the French author Jules Verne, who was born in Nantes. It was replaced by a TGV in 1989.
