There is a kind of maps where the territory is deformed according to time employed by this (or that) connection, I think they are called "time cartograms"[0], probably in the case of France it wouldn't be so extreme, but I remember one made of Italy where the country was very short north-south and very large west-east, because most of the high speed railway connections go in the north-south direction, and actually crossing the country from the Tirrenic to the Adriatic coast takes nowadays the same (or more) than before world war II.
