| Aug 1, 2022 at 13:07 | comment | added | gerrit | @RedSonja There are direct daily trains from Frankfurt to Marseille that you can book on bahn.de. There are also direct daily trains from Paris to Madrid that you can book through SNCF or RENFE, no need to change at the border! I already mentioned thetrainline as a booking website and seat61.com as a general source. It's true that booking long distance trains in Europe can be a hassle, but I've taken train vacations to southern Spain many times from Sweden, Netherlands, UK, and Germany, and it's entirely possible. Don't let the complicated booking put you off. You know Travel SE ☺ | |
| Aug 1, 2022 at 13:03 | comment | added | RedSonja | We (in Germany) checked if we could go on holiday to e.g. the South of France by train. Of course you can, but the train companies don't seem to want you to. A long-distance train may not travel at night at all. One we could have taken stops in Lyon for 8 hours. And so on. Trains won't cross borders (e.g. from France to Spain), you have to get out and change. Until the train companies decide they want our custom we will continue to use the car to go on holiday. Shame. | |
