Train from Paris to Barcelona

I apologize in advance if I did not see this, but what web sites would be the best to look on to book a train ticket from Paris to Barcelona? I have been told to stay away from Rail Europe if at all possible to book cheaper travel. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

www.tgv-europe.com will do it. Trip takes 13.0hrs or so. Depending on when you are going, you can get the special PREM fares which are quite good. Be careful to select Great Britain and then on the Book your Ticket page, again select Great Britain. This will keep the pages in English. Here's part of a great posting from Tim from Minot, N.D.

"To keep the site in English and to avoid being bumped to the Rail Europe site, choose Great Britain as both your country of residence and the country in which you will retrieve your tickets. You will be able to pick up your tickets at any SNCF station or boutique (ticket shop) in France, even though you originally chose Great Britain".

You might also want to look into a budget flight on www.vueling.com from Paris-CDG to Barcelona. It's cheaper and quicker.
