DrRox:
The Joan Miro--Talgo Elipsos Hotel Train--Barcelona to Paris makes more sense to me, than Madrid to Paris. Current departure is 21:05 from Barcelona and arrival in Paris at 09:02. Current ticket prices are Gran Class = $338 per person, First Class = $275 per person and Tourist Class = $192 per person in 4 person rooms.
The Francisco de Goya--Talgo Elipsos Hotel Train--Madrid to Paris. Train leaves Madrid at 18:15 and arrives in Paris at 08:27. Current fares are the same as the Barcelona to Paris fares.
I think train choice depends on just what time that production wanted teams to arrive in Paris. I need to look at driving time to the chateaus in the Loire Valley and the times teams were observed there....that might help in determining which train.

So glad the word is out. We met Josh and Brent on the Talgo Night Train to Paris in June when they were in the middle of racing and filming. Caroline and I will be watching on the 30th and cheering them on. Spoiler alert, when we met them there were four teams left!
I don't know if this is something we already knew or not, but it appears that the Beekman Boys are in the final four. They are getting one of the largest reactions on Twitter, so that will probably help ratings. :tup: The fact that the Facebook poster doesn't mention other teams may be bad news for the Beekman Boys though.
Also, I'm not sure we ever nailed down which trains were used in France, so this may help with that.

I checked the Madrid train schedule I posted on a different source to the one where I found the departure and arrival times, and you've got the right one, not me. In this source, the train leaves from Chamartin at 6.12pm. and arrives to Paris Austerlitz at 9.03am.. :gaah:
DrRox:
Yeah....both Night Hotel Trains arrive at Paris Austerlitz station.
In Madrid, Night Hotel trains depart from the Madrid Atocha Station.
In Barcelona, Night Hotel trains depart from the Barcelona Estacio de Franca.
Alenaveda:
Anyway, it's a good way to bunch all the teams. :)
