On this route, the Spanish company's high-speed trains will stop at Carcassonne, Perpignan, Figueras and Girona. The trains will run at normal speed in France, but at high speed on the Spanish TGV line. The 3.5-hour link between the Ville Rose and the Catalan capital will operate seasonally until mid-September, with one train a day in each direction. However, Renfe reserves the right to extend this service on an annual basis. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"511\" src=\"https:\/\/www.voyages-d-affaires.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/renfe-toulouse.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-183243\" style=\"width:247px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.voyages-d-affaires.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/renfe-toulouse.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.voyages-d-affaires.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/renfe-toulouse-300x219-derived.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Renfe network in France<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<aside class=\"wp-block-varenne-link-block\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.voyages-d-affaires.com\/en\/renfe-reporte-ouverture-toulouse-barcelone-20250407.html\/\" data-id=\"196941\">Renfe postpones opening of Toulouse-Barcelona route<\/a><\/p><\/aside>\n\n\n\n<p>Renfe will shortly be announcing the launch dates for this route and the sale of tickets as soon as it has received safety certification from the European Union Railway Agency (EUAR).
