Having ridden the regular TGV in the summer of 1999, I can testify that they do in fact:

Travel at 200 MPH top speed.
It really sounds a lot like a jet plane from the inside.
You can easily walk the aisles without any problem at top speed. Truly amazing experience

Actually max speed they are authorized to go is 320 km/h currently, 280 km/h is the average speed.
