Train journeys between France and Spain are usually quite expensive, partly because there are only a few international trains. Tickets for the TGV inOui Paris ↔ Barcelona are available at a very affordable €29 per direction in second class as part of a flash sale. Even an Interrail reservation for the train already costs more! You can travel between January and March 2024.
The journey on the double-decker TGV takes almost seven hours. It operates twice a day in each direction, stopping along the way in places like Montpellier, Perpignan, or Girona.
Tickets purchased as part of the flash sale are neither exchangeable nor refundable.
