    Oh man, sounds like you have quite some time on your hands, awesome. International train travel is a mess with a bike, probably makes sense to disassemble for that long of a trip then. Although you’d have time in advance to book something. There should be interesting “intercités de nuit” that would bring you from Paris to the border of Spain over night, I think both ends of Pyrenees, Basque country and catalunya. These trains should take full bikes. I hate the SNCF website though, so confusing and I never get to book a train that I’d like.

      Yeah I know, I read cross border rail blog from Jon Worth.

      My international trips with bike were in Slovakia, Austria and Czech Republic at least somewhere it isn’t a problem.

      Problem is ticketing, trying to find best deals or at least connections because loads of the companies refuse to communicate between themselves.
