Experienced rail travellers only

[Piscesman1946]

I want to travel from Porto to Paris by rail in October. It looks like I take the local to Coimbra B, then the night train to Hendaye, then the TGV to Paris??? How best to reserve it? Loco2, Renfe or CP? Is it true that reservations won’t be available until July or August? Thanks

It is typical that the time frame for available reservations is only 90 days in advance.

From Irun ( Spain ) you can walk the two kilometres ( across the border ) to Hendaye ( France ) or you can take a local train.
I can highly recommend the TGV from Hendaye to Paris. Extremely comfortable and with the wonderful bonus that the French railwaycompany gently advises you to put your cellphone on quiet or do your calls behind the carriagedoors.
I booked my ticket directly through the SNCF website.
