Is there a train from the South of France to Barcelona?

Me and a few friends are planning a trip for the summer, going from Paris to my grandparents house in le Lot, to Barcelona and to Berlin, and I'm trying to find a train from anywhere near my grandparents house (so...Rodez, Figeac, Limoges..) to Barcelona, just to compare prices. Or would it be cheaper to by one of those eurorail tickets, and travel everywhere by train? Any advice would be great...we're students..which makes us poor and clueless :) thaaaaank you :D xIs there a train from the South of France to Barcelona?
You can catch a train at Limoges B茅n茅dictins to Barcelona. Depending on the time of the day you travel, you could get a train with one change at Girona, whilst others have a number of changes.

You can use this same website for your onward travel to Berlin.
Eurail tickets only make sense if you are on the train half the time the pass it valid, or even more.

On this page you will find a lot of information on travel within France, how to buy tickets and which websites to use.

The SNCF sites, see the links on that 'france' page, will find you trains to Barcelona.

You can also click on Spain, and use the Spanish website, specially when you want to search for Spanish ticket sites.



On this page you can find all about rail passes and whether it will be useful for you to buy one:

There are now several daily trains direct from Paris to Barcelona and more from Perpignan to Barcelona. To check times/prices it's normally better to go to the German railways site..generally more reliable then sncf or renfe
