Delicious foodFavourable journeyPunctualDisadvantages
-I travelled from Paris to Rome on 10 February. The journey took 13 hours. The seats were comfortable and the noise level was pleasant. The food was very tasty, but a little expensive. The journey was on time and the price-performance ratio was also exclusively good. I had to travel on TGV 9203 and after changing trains I travelled on FR 9649 to my destination. I highly recommend the journey as the catering was good, everything was clean and tidy and the price was very reasonable.

Socket did not work at my placeTables could have been a little cleanerThe train from Paris to Rome was a little full, but it was still quiet in the passenger compartment, so you could relax perfectly. Here, too, the seats were very comfortable. There was also plenty of legroom. Unfortunately, the power socket didn't work at my seat, so I had to move. The wifi continued to work smoothly. The train itself was clean, but the tables could have been better. The toilets looked hygienic so far. The staff here were also friendly. There were no delays and I didn't have to change trains.
