From Paris, board a high‑speed TGV that takes you straight to Milan or, with a change in Turin, to Rome. From Lyon you can catch a direct TGV to Milan, or a regional train to Turin and onward to the northern lakes. From Marseille, a night train heads to Rome, while a regional service can take you to Genoa. From Nice, a regional train connects you to Milan or to the coastal city of Genoa. These routes give you a seamless, car‑free entry into Italy without the need for a flight.
In Italie, there's something for everyone: the art‑laden streets of Florence and Rome, the sun‑kissed cliffs of the Amalfi Coast, and the snow‑capped peaks of the Dolomites. Wander through the vineyards of Tuscany, sample pasta and olive oil in Naples, and savor a glass of Chianti while watching the sunset over the Sicilian sea. A contrasting, lively country, ideal for a train itinerary in Italie, to be discovered through its cities as much as its wide open spaces… and always without flying.
