Welcome to European Tribune. It's gone a bit quiet around here these days, but it's still going.

Here's a list of the LGV projects put off until who-knows-when:

Le gouvernement démine la fin du tout-TGV - Libération The government clears the way for the end of the all-TGV - Liberation
la plupart des projets de lignes à grande vitesse (LGV): Marseille-Nice, Bordeaux-Espagne, Paris-Normandie, Paris-Orléans-Clermont-Lyon, Poitiers-Limoges, Montpellier-Perpignan, achèvement des lignes Rhin-Rhône, etc. Seule la LGV Bordeaux-Toulouse serait lancée d'ici 2030. Et encore, seulement dans le scénario optimiste (c'est à dire dépensier), que le gouvernement n'a pas encore validé.Most projects of high-speed lines (LGV): Marseille-Nice, Bordeaux, Spain, Paris, Normandy, Paris-Orleans-Clermont-Lyon, Poitiers, Limoges, Montpellier, Perpignan, completion of the Rhine-Rhône lines, etc.. Only the LGV Bordeaux-Toulouse would be launched by 2030. And then only in the optimistic scenario (ie spendthrift), that the government has not yet validated.

All three you mention are on the list: Marseille-Nice, Paris-Orléans-Clermont-Lyon, Montpellier-Perpignan. And note that even Bordeaux-Toulouse is still conditional.
