Barcelona - Paris

What will be the best way to go from Barcelona to Paris in July? I am thinking of the overnight train. Does anyone know how much it will be ? Where can I get the discount ticket? Thanks

EasyJet flies that route. I got a discounted fare of $34 one way booking way in advance (in January for a May trip!)

The overnight train from Barcelona is a Talgo that leaves at 21.05 and gets into Paris at 8.48

Prices vary, depending on whether you have a railpass or not. Flying might be better and cheaper

Check that Mandi, that was 34 euro one way, not 34 dollars.

thanks for the info.
another question though, how far apart between the two airports in Paris (CDG vs ORY)? I will be staying in hotel Lutetia in the left bank. Which airport is closer? thanks for your help.

Orly is closer to the main Left Bank areas, but both are easily accessible by RER.

It's a 25 minutes ride from de Gaulle to the St. Michel stop in the quartier Latin.

I flew Ryanair. It's a bit of a mess getting to Girona airport, but then prices are generally cheaper than Easyjet. All info on www.ryanair.com. From taking the bus in Barcelona to arriving in Paris, count on 6.30 hours.
