Paris to Roma / Rome by train

Despite the distance and lack of direct trains, the journey from Paris to Rome is comparatively straightforward.
A combination of two high speed trains and a station purpose-built for high speed rail travel designed around providing step-free access to /from the trains.
Or if you opt to take the route via Milano Centrale, all you will have to do is walk from one train to the other.

Travelling overnight isn't an option worth considering on this route, it's possible to depart Paris on the TGV train to Torino, which typically departs Paris at 14:43 and connecting into an InterCity Notte train on to Roma, but the transfer time is only 18 mins.
Therefore as it's a connection that can't be guaranteed, separate bookings for each train are required, so it's quite a gamble!
