Sounds like fun and Lille is lovely. Train travel feels like part of the holiday rather than a chore. Piemonte very atmospheric at this time of year.
Many moons ago we used to travel to Italy on the Roma express with an over night coucette. It used to be the cheaper option compared to posh air travel. Loved it. Train travel in Europe is pretty good. Last year we travelled from Tuscany to Palermo on the overnight where the train gets loaded onto the ferry for Sicily. It was more interesting than flying and cheaper as the train was the hotel, us we had a day in Rome each way. Worth trying before the service disappears. It also goes to Siracusa.

How interesting, we either drive for the long stays or fly for the short, I have wondered about using the train to get there but what has put me off is working out and more, relying on the connections.
A long time ago we used to make the car journey into part of the holiday, then over Covid we travelled from UK - Italy - UK as quickly as possible now I think it's time to start enjoying the journey more slowly again.

Same here. Fly for short breaks to max time on holiday but drive for longer breaks as France, Switzerland, etc too lovely to rush and then have car available in Italy. We do use generally trains for longer trips up and down Italy for city breaks as it often avoids a dull motorway drive and city centre traffic and parking. Like many we use the Trenitalia app which has senior and group discounts and can use English version.
