It’s the train line we’ve been eagerly waiting to return, and with the arrival of spring, it couldn’t be more perfect! Closed since August 27, 2023, due to a landslide that made it impassable, the direct SNCF train connection between Paris Gare de Lyon and Milan is set to be accessible to travelers once again. This exciting news comes just a few months after the launch of the Paris-Berlin line. So mark your calendars for March 31st to (re)discover Italy by train!
