Hi, can you tell me if there is a train travelling from Lisbon to Paris?
Other option for me is Vigo, Spain to Paris?
Portugal to Paris

The Lisbon-Paris train hasn't run for many years, the service as far as the French border at Irun was abandoned at the start of covid and isn't being restarted.
Going via Vigo will make it a lot worse.
There is an option via Badajoz (border station so shown as a regional not international service on www.cp.pt) then a connection to Madrid, then to Barcelona where there are some direct high-speed trains to Paris. But this will require at least one night in a hotel.

PLUS that from Mad it is then AVE/RENFE (on a pass-there are now also other cheaper competition) to Barca and then only 2 daily TGV all the way to Paris by SNCF-very hard to get RES for on passes.
From Galicia/Vigo: take tren to Donostia (San Sebastian) then pay a few€ for euskotren/tram to border=Hendaya and use SNCF from there onward. Oh dear-passholders-you have to pay a few € extra! But the suppkmts on RENFE and SNCF are already way higher as that amount.
