Status
Sources disagree on the timing: the LGV Rhin-Rhône's own before/after figure for this pair is 3h35, while ticket-search aggregators show a fastest closer to 3h50-3h42 and up to 4h12 on slower workings. Only about 4 direct departures run each day, so a search returning many more results is mostly showing connections via Paris or Dijon.

Easy to get wrong
This is not a Paris-routed journey — trains use the LGV Rhin-Rhône's eastern branch to cut directly across from the Rhône valley to Alsace, so it is materially different (and usually cheaper in time) than travelling via a change in the capital.
