Yep...Bordeaux (centre) to Paris (centre) the TGV is the obvious choice, has been ever since the link opened.

As eagle21 pointed out:

BOD airport would be the most affected, but in reality BA, LH, KLM, IB, will increase their flights there and create the extra connecting capacity. If anything this measure will create jobs outside France.
Agreed - Certainly BA seems to have let BOD fall off it's radar over the last few years but you'd hope BA might have a look at the possibilities/financial side of nicking some traffic off AF and others by actually serving BOD with increased frequency, certainly once long haul travel recovers....then again it's BA.
