Hi. I'm going from Barcelona to Nice in July, and I've been told it makes the most sense to do an overnight train since it's around an 8 hour trip. However, since I have to be in Barcelona in the morning, I thought about maybe doing a short day trip from Barcelona, preferably near a train station, and then doing the overnight to S. France. Is this a good idea?
Any recommendations on good places to go?
