Hello, I’m scheduling a trip by train with my kids from Madrid to Milan with different stops (Valencia, Barcelona, Girona, Montpellier, Frejus, Sanremo, and Milan). We should leave Madrid on the 20th of April and be back in Milan on the 2nd May. I have to arrive in Frejus on the 27th April to attend a wedding the day after. I would like to know if someone did a similar trip, or if you have any recommendations counsciuos of the fact that we won’t spend too much time in each city (Barcelona apart).
Thanks,
Cecilia

There are a lot of options on this route, and it really depends on your preferences. Your route is certainly fine, be aware of reservation costs of the Spanish and French high speed trains (Girona-Montpellier is €25 for the SNCF trains, €12 for the Renfe ones). There's a daily direct Renfe train from Madrid to Marseille so it's also up to you if you want to do the detour via Valencia or decrease the number of stops and spend some more time in the places where you stop (but then you might as well have gotten a 4-day pass for this journey).
