We have traveled on the train Ellipses Francisco de Goya to approach us from Madrid to Poitiers, in France. It is a train that runs every day in the direction of Madrid-Paris and leaves the Chamartín station in Madrid at 18:30. The trip was made in a large class cabin that included a couple of beds and had a full bathroom for exclusive use for us. The possibilities offered by the train in terms of fare prices and combinations for families can be looked at the Elipsos website and thus choose the best combination.

In these trains, comfort and quality prevail in addition to the technology of the latest generation Talgo trains and also the service staff is always attentive taking care of and managing travelers. On the train we were given dinner in a restaurant car and the menu had a wide, varied menu that is enjoyed because it is cooked at the moment. They also offered us a full breakfast before getting off at our destination in Poitiers.
Elipsos is a 50% owned company by Renfe and the French railways, SNCF, which manage the two Trenhotel that link Spain with France and the TGV High Speed trains between Figueras and Paris. Since December 1, 2012 Elipsos has incorporated the Dalí Menu into its gastronomic offer on board the Trenhotel. The idea arose on the occasion of the great retrospective exhibition that the Pompidou Center in Paris dedicates to the Empordà painter and is part of Elipsos' commitment to cultural and city tourism.
Hotel trains connect Barcelona and Madrid with Paris. The Trenhotel Francisco de Goya, which covers the route Madrid, Valladolid, Burgos and Vitoria with the Gallic cities of Poitiers, Blois, Orléans and Paris. And the Trenhotel Joan Miró, which links Barcelona, Gerona and Figueras with Orléans and Paris.
For these times of crisis Traveling as a family by train can be economical, practical, didactic, without excessive luxuries and with great enthusiasm. Traveling by train is full of attractions and approaching France by train is a great option. And then, once in our destination we can also move around the country using the SNCF network (Société Nationale des Chemins de Fer Français, National Society of French Railways).
