Planning on doing this in about 2 1/2 weeks. Is it doable? The Marseille bit is still pretty up in the air, I'd be up for pretty much anywhere in South France (maybe Nice?). I'm looking at Aux-en-Provence on the way to Barcelona as well, probably not an overnight there, though.
Not sure whether to get the 5 day or 10 day global pass. I want to take the train back to London (residence: UK) from Barcelona, so I think the 10 day would probably be worth it.
Thoughts?

Hi!
First to make something clear regarding the validity period of the different passes:
- 5in10 global: 5 travel days (can be chosen individually) out of a period of 10 consecutive days
- 10in22 global 10 travel days (can be chosen individually) out of a period of 22 consecutive days
So, if you want to travel ~ 2 1/2 weeks, the 10in22 is the right choice for you. :)
Marseille is a nice city and you have good connections to Aix-en-Provence from there so you could make a day trip there. Aix has a TGV station as well, but it's a away from the centre (~15km) and you would need to take a bus to get there.
And Nice, of course is very nice as well...moreover you can visit a lot of other nice places along the Cote d'Azur easily by train: Grasses, Antibes, Monaco,...

Are you flying to Prague or do you want to travel this journey by train as well?
If yes, think about the route UK-Amsterdam-Berlin.
