We are hoping to find a way to connect our Basque tour with our Switzerland tour on the 23rd to 27th of September by train. We looked at the French intracitys but I can’t determine if there is an overnight train or couchettes. Any suggestions

Hi Scott. There are many choices, you can see them on the bahn.de website. Take 15 - 23 hours. One choice is leave Bilboa 8:55 am, 6 transfers, arrive Zurich midnight. Another is leave Bilboa at 3:55 pm; 5 transfers, and includes a night train with couchettes from Bayonne to Paris; arrive in Zurich at 1 pm the following day. Or you could get to Paris in 9 hours with only 2 changes, stay there for a night or two, then take a train from Paris to Zurich in less than 5 hours.
