The old SNCF Inter-City coaches had great second class seats and some in compartments too. Replaced in Normandy by slightly better than suburban double-deckers, still not much fun for a 2 -3 hr trip.
I've been on Corail coaches in 1st and I didn't think they were that amazing, certainly the BR Mk3b First Class seats (of not dissimilar vintage) were vastly superior in my book, and the Corail coaches look rather dated compared with the Mk3. 2nd looks very basic. Also they seem to have a pointless bar across the window at just the right height to block my view out.
