I've set this as my mobile ringtone for an incoming text message... and then I went to France... Every time I passed a bloody station I was reaching for my phone...
hmm, yes it is! I was heading to Nice from Valencia, and I had to swap trains in Montpellier. I think you can't tell actually, there's not enought clues on the video.
isn't there another one too? I think maybe on the rer lines, which chimes and plays twice? I remember this one too getting in my head for days following a European trip last year.
I love this... my mom and I were stuck at the train station in Vernon for a few hours and I heard this so many times that day. I tried to catch it on my cell phone, but could never time it right.
I find it quite cheesy as a jingle (so common-sounding) - I prefer the three tone Swiss Railways jingle (but maybe that's just because I take issue with the SNCF)
I think her name is Simone. I just researched it. Her voice is all over French railroad stations. She's the one who says "Le train à destination de / Montpellier / va partir dans...there is always a pause. She must have recorded many clauses so they can be combined. She can't be in every city at the same time, right?
the pause is like a bug of the mpg encoding, i had to film a several seconds to record this song, and then i had to edit, and that made a glich on the audio
yes, it's the same lady all over France, she recorded a word bank for all the announcements so that the computers just have to choose the words they want to create an announcement! You can notice it espacially when she says the train number.
I don't like this little musical jingle, I live just next to a train station and it's worse than the former one... but it's true that it is catchy!
France is the greatest country in Europe.. bar Germany.. everything is just beautiful or beautifully done.. the streets and buildings are spanking clean.. and the people are brilliant once vous parlez francais!
man i was in france for a while. and i couldnt get that outta my head for ages. i actually looked forward to getting the train just to hear that. how sad am i?
Hey, What's the title of the song that's taken from? I remember hearing it once on the radio and I was like "WTF?, THIS IS THE TGV JINGLE!!". It's a decent techno tune, but I can't find the title...
I work on the railways in the UK. I think if we used a tune like this before annoucements there would be a fucking riot! But then our annoucements only carry bad news and the French have more to sing about on their system. Merci beaucoup!
Can someone point me to a URL I can download this jingle please for my Blackberry.

There is a jingle on SNCF or Paris Metro that has three rising tones then a chord.
Is that still in use?
neil9327 2 years ago
yeah! i know the one you're talking about! I think the SNCF scrapped that after the rebranding.. although its still in use at some stations..

I hate this tune (which stays in your head for days) along with the new "hype" logo ... It looks like a smashed strawberry chewing gum.
EDF however made a much greater work in improving its tunes and image. Check "EDF - Le Robot" here on Youtube for an example.
