    Hello! I will be travelling to Zermatt on October to Paris. May I know which is the best way by train? I have read some recommendation to travel from Zermatt to Geneva and stay one night in Geneva. Then next day travel from Geneva to Paris. Will it be better if I go straight to Paris with out wasting one more night in Geneva? Please advise me. Thank you!
