A journey from Toulouse to Barcelona via l’Hospitalet & Latour de Carol, the slow and scenic route across the Pyrenees.
I took the Intercité de Nuit overnight couchette train overnight from Paris to Toulouse (see my Intercité de Nuit video), then I took the 08:48 TER local train from Toulouse to Latour de Carol arriving around 11:50. After an hour or two between trains, I took the 13:47 Spanish local train from Latour de Carol to Barcelona, arriving around 16:40.
It’s more time-effective to use the direct InterCité de Nuit train from Paris to Latour de Carol – in the video, this train is seen stabled in the platform at Latour. The best scenery starts at Foix, which the night train reaches around 06:00, so in Summer it’ll be light. However, I used the Paris-Toulouse night train then the Toulouse-Latour TER as I was travelling in December and wanted to see the whole Toulouse-Latour de Carol route in daylight.
