I'd appreciate comments from anyone who has traveled by train from Florence to Paris. (I did it from Rome by myself years ago, but this time my wife and I are doing the trip). I know the night train apparently has a change at Milano. The other alternative is to train to Rome and get a cheap flight to Paris. Direct train seems simpler--if longer and complicated by sleeping accomod.
Thanks in advance!!!

Hi OBT - IF you are considering flying, check out Easyjet from Pisa-Paris Orly.

Hope this helps ...

Hi Ob,

That's www.easyjet.com

www.trenitalia.com/en/index.html has Smart Price Fares to Paris:

On the night trains leaving from Rome, Florence, Bologna, Venice and Milan: 35 euros for a couchette in 6-place compartment; 60 euros for a couchette in 4-place compartment.

Or fly from Bologna to Paris CDG with Myair or Vueling.

There is a DIRECT night train that leaves Firenze Campo di Marte at 20:55 and arrives at Paris Bercy at 09:10. For timetables and fares, go here: www.trenitalia.com/en/index.html.

Thanks to all. to TimS: Looks like the Palatino solves the problem on the train front. All the trains I found previously changed at Milano! (on a different Trenitalia site (?)

Still going to check out easyjet from Pisa---NOTE Steve_James: do you know anything about Florence-Pisa train or other connections for flights. Thanks in Advance! Although those EasyJet weight limits are really "limiting"
