Toured Germany, ITALY and France in Spring of 2000. Was a perfect time. Found Germany to be most easy in terms of bikes on TRAINs. We only transfered in ITALY, so I am not familiar with their policies. But France, it appeared that you could only take bikes on the later running TRAINs, which made it difficult for us relying on camping (and being able to arrive at the campsite before it was locked up). We kept our bikes in our boxes (from the plane) on the local TRAIN between Frankfurt and Heidelburg. I am not sure it was acceptable, but we did it anyway. And from Munich to Milan, we had no trouble. There was a specific bike car inwhich our bikes, fully set-up could be kept. I'd like to know more about the person who says they just pay the fine instead of using the fancy "Housse" for French TRAINs. |
