Rome to Paris via train through the Alps

Hi bigbucbob,

Do you plan to complete this trip in one day? It's 10 hour traveling at least, so that does not leave much room for a detour via a scenic route. If you only have one day, my preference would be Rome - Milan - Chiasso - Zurich - Paris, which includes part of the Wilhelm Tell Express route. If you have two days, you could include parts of the Bernina Express and Glacier Express route, e.g. Rome - Milan - Chiasso - Bellinzona - Chur (overnight) - Andermatt - Luzern/Zurich - Paris.
