Trains from Barcelona to Paris

Barcelona to Paris by rail means leaving the Mediterranean behind, crossing the Spanish-French border near Figueres and running the length of France to the Seine. People choose it to watch the country change outside the window, to avoid the airports of both cities, or to join Spain and France in the same itinerary without a flight in the middle. The search below gives the live times and fares for your date, and the return from Paris is covered on its own page.

About the Barcelona to Paris train

You leave from Barcelona Sants and head north through Girona and Figueres, the last Spanish city before the border. Beyond it the line passes Perpignan and then turns up through the south and centre of France. Settle the travel date and the party size before you search, and look at both legs if you want the return; each is priced on its own. The train ends at the Gare de Lyon, on the Right Bank in the east of Paris, beside the Seine and a short ride from the Bastille and the Marais. It is a different arrival from the Gare du Nord that trains from Brussels and Amsterdam use, and it leaves you nearer the Bercy and Nation districts. The metro beneath the station reaches the rest of the city. For the hotels listed under Where to stay in Paris, the airport distances show how far each sits from Orly, Charles de Gaulle and Beauvais, useful if the trip home is by air. The France eSIM plans linked on the page carry you over the border for data.
