Hi

i've got an interrail globalpass 22 days continius that starts working the 9th of july, where i will be in barcelona. Me and my travelpartners plan was originally barcelona - paris - amsterdam - hamburg - berlin - and then maybe prague if we got time. But now it seems that the weather in western europe is kind of bad, it's cold and it's raining so i am considering changing the plans and make a new route. i was thinking about something like barcelona - valencia - madrid - bordeaux - nantes - paris or maybe barcelona - marseille - lyon - paris with just a day or 2 each place, and then stay only a few days in paris and continue with the rest of the originally route, but i'm unsure if this is a good idea or not. I was hoping that someone could give me a little inspiration or some good advices on where to go, instead than going directly as i prefer traveling in good weather and wouldn't mind a week of sun and beaches before going north.

Thanks

btw our contry of residence is denmark and we are aware that we can't travel there with our interrailpasses. And also as we have just spend a week in italy we are not planning to go back there.

Hi.
I hope you bought your official Interrail pass here at railcc to support the forum, the answers and all the information on the website. Thank you! :)
I recommend first crossing the Pyrenees by Little Yellow Train...
Barcelona Latour de Carol - Perpignan: [u]https://rail.cc/blog/little-yellow-train-video/[/u]
Then stay overnight somewhere at the coast.
Continue to Nice (but it is a long travel). Stay there overnight. And the next night by night train to Paris.
If this is too much travel, stay in the area of Perpignan at the sea and use a night train from there to Paris. French night trains are inexpensive.
It's also possible to have some stops in between from Southern France to Paris, like you already recommended... Lyon, Dijon, Beaune. Or Le-Puy-en-Velay ( [u]https://rail.cc/en/le-puy-en-velay/c[/u] ) ...
