The
train from Barcelona made one stop at Girona and made a maximum speed (that I
noticed) of 290 km/h. At Figueres there
was a French train waiting so I just needed to cross the platform and go
through a ticket check. On this train, a double decker, I was seatedvupstairs.
The toilets on the last train were immaculately clean. On this one the 1st
class train seats are wider, with electric adjustment, and there is a large
table top that slides out of the seat in front. No music this time but I have a
socket next to the seat.
Figueres
is surrounded by beautiful countryside: mountains on one side and many hills
covered in trees. Through a tunnel and we were in France, which immediately
looked different in architecture and land use. The train had one stop before
Narbonne, at Perpignan.
From
Perpignan the train followed the sea, sometimes running right along the shore.
Many wading birds were visible on a shoreline similar to the Camargue. The
train went on to Montpellier before continuing to Paris. I would have loved to
stay on that one.
