What's the temperature in TGVs?
I noticed that the French TGVs have no window that can be opened so the temperature is necessarily controlled with the air conditioning.
I am curious, is the air conditioning set to a specific temperature, cold like often in airplanes or a more ambient temperature? I'd like to figure if I should take an extra sweater for my trip. Is it the same temperature in winter and summer?

There is no official temperature setting for TGV trains because this setting is accessible to the conductors which set it to whatever value they find reasonable before the start of the trip. Now, since those guys have to wear full suit uniforms, the temperature that is comfortable for them does not necessarily correspond to the value comfortable for passengers, especially in summer when everyone is wearing T-shirts.
Personally I find this temperature comfortable, but if you know you feel cold before other people do, take extra clothes on the trip.

From what I can understand from the TGV FAQ, the temperature tend to be on the colder side.
Morning trains will be colder or hotter (depending on the season) inn the morning as the heater and AC are turned off when the trains are not in use.

Approximately,and given the similarities (and that nowadays there's a barcelona-paris direct trip) , i'll base my response on the AVE, spanish TGV :
During summer, the temperature is set between 18 and 22ºC depending on the temperature outside ( the higher outside, the lower) , counting that a lot of people generate a lot of temperature and that human odour is less noticeable on cold air, and during winter, it's set between 20 and 25ºC. Atleast on the spanish trains tho, there's a display that constantly shows current weather, next stop, current outside temperature, current inside temperature, etc...
but yes, in general, and for the average person, it's cold. it's meant to be cold because it's better to keep people not sweating too much in a closed , plane-sized cabin without showers, for long streaks of time.

Yes they ALL have aircon from super-sunny-hot South through the frigid High-Alps to the wet and clammy North. The conductor can change the settings. He/she may deny this because keeping a trainload of people happy is not a task for the timid.
