Deutsch: Die Compagnie Générale Transatlantique S.A. (CGT) war eine halbstaatliche französische Reederei mit Hauptsitz in Paris, Heimathafen für die Schiffe war aber Le Havre an der französischen Kanalküste. Die Reederei betrieb Fracht- und Passagierdienste nach Nord- und Mittelamerika sowie im Mittelmeer. Für die CGT, Transat oder auch French Line waren einige der schönsten und größten Passagierschiffe in Dienst mit so klingenden Namen, wie die Ile de France, Normandie oder France.

English: The Compagnie Générale Transatlantique (shortened to "CIE. GLE. TRANSATLANTIQUE", or CGT, and commonly named "Transat"), known overseas as the French Line, was a shipping company established in 1861 as an attempt to revive the French merchant marine, the poor state of which was painfully highlighted during the Crimean War of 1856. The company's first vessel, the SS Washington, undertook her maiden voyage on 15 June 1864. Aside from operating ocean liners, the company also had a significant fleet of freighters. The company survived both World Wars, but the arrival of jet travel doomed its mainstay passenger liner business. In 1977 the company merged with the Compagnie des Messageries Maritimes to form the Compagnie Générale Maritime.

Français : La Compagnie générale transatlantique (CGT, au diminutif de Transat) était une compagnie maritime française. Elle a fusionné en 1975 avec la Compagnie des messageries maritimes (MM) pour donner la Compagnie générale maritime, devenue CMA CGM. Surnommée la French Line, elle a assuré le transport transatlantique régulier de passagers avec des navires comme le Normandie ou le France. Consacrée au trafic des marchandises et à la croisière, la CMA CGM est devenue le troisième armateur mondial.
