Arriving in Paris June 25th and need to be in Florence sometime that evening. Better to drive or take train?
Spending 3 days in Florence then going to Rome for 3 and back to Paris for 4 nights. Been looking at train schedules and I am completely confused. My husband and I are traveling with our 15 year old son. We like the flexibility of driving so we can stop and see whatever catches our eye, but the train sounds nice, too. Please advise. Also, please comment on any good stops along this route. Many thanks!

Have you checked the distance from Paris to Florence? It is about 700 miles including crossing the Alps. I certainly wouldn%26#39;t want to drive that after a long flight.
The train takes 12.5 hours upwards so is similar in overall time to driving. I would suggest looking for a flight if you have to be in Florence that day.
Coming back from Rome there is an overnight train.

Sounds like an excellent plan. I found several flights from Paris to Florence. I had thought about taking the night train from to Rome to Paris via Bern, Switzerland then spend the night and head on to Paris the following day. It reduces Paris to 3 nights but lets us get a glimpse of another country. Your thoughts?
Thank you for your guidance. When I looked up the distance from Paris to Florence mapcrow.com said 299 miles (not km, I checked). Obviously there is a little more to the drive than I thought. My husband is extremely grateful for your clarification!
