Plans to cut the night trains in France resulted in an outcry from fans of the service, with around 3,500 people signing a petition to "Save the French Sleeper Trains". France's department of transport said in a statement on Thursday that some of these lines will soon be cut for good. The line connecting Paris to Irun in Spain will continue until at least July next year, and the Paris to Nice line will keep running until October 2017. The line from Paris to Briançon (in the south east of France) will be kept, as will the line between Paris and Latour-de-Carol, which stands on the Spanish border not far from Andorra. The map above shows all of France's night train lines.
