My journey from Barcelona to Paris was a pleasant one. The price was very good, not too cheap and not too expensive.

Pro

There was wifi

Comfortable seat

Long stops where you could shop

Cons

Very long journey

30 minute delay

I got in at 9:20 and 8 minutes later we were on our way. The first thing I noticed was how clean everything was. I was shown straight to my seat by the friendly staff and then relaxed. The timetable was without any changes all the way to Paris. The TGV 9708 took about 7 hours thanks to the delay. The toilets were great at the beginning, but became a bit disgusting after 6 hours as the guests used them. The ticket was expensive, but all the alternatives were just too expensive. The comfort was great and the volume was reasonable.

Pro

Nice staff

Cons

Overcrowded

The train with the number 6613 departed from Barcelona to Paris on 12 April at 11:52. The journey took around 7 hours. The train was clean and hygienic, but the train was so overcrowded that the air in the train became stuffy and warm. The staff were nice and polite, despite the large amount of people on the train. Value for money of the journey compared to competitors pretty good.

Pro

Favourable ticket

Cons

Overcrowded train

Despite the crowded train from Barcelona to Paris, I found the train journey very pleasant because the wifi worked the whole way and the toilets on the train were very clean. I also thought it was great that I could book my ticket very easily online and that the ticket was quite cheap. I also really liked the fact that I didn't have to change trains. What I liked best was that I could reach my destination in the shortest possible time.

Pro

Cons

Poor wifi

The train from Barcelona to Paris was my return journey home. Unfortunately, the train with the train number TGV 9704 departed almost an hour late. The connection Barcelona Madrid is possible without changing trains, which was very pleasing. The service provided by the staff was really extremely good. I would recommend everyone to reserve a seat because it makes travelling easier. The train was very hygienic and clean.

Pro
