Paris to Andorra and Souther France questions

Can I take a train to Andorra (don't ask why) from Paris, rent a car
and then explore the Pyrannies? Which is an easier trip? West to
Biarritz, Bilboa or east to Barcelona? Costs for the train and a car
for four or five days?

The train station for Andorra would be l'Hospitalet, France or La Tour
de Carol/Latour de Carol/La Tor de Querol.

In february 1995 I went to Andorra by bus from LATOUR DE CAROL ENVEITG (note
that without specifying ENVEITG or at least its initials the sncf.com
timetables used to have some problems).
There used to be around 6 runs (depending on the day of the week).
Nice run, not exactly quick (including ~15 minutes stop at a ski resort),
but the nice landscape is worth slowliness (and the non exactly minimized
connection time), to me.

Oh yes, I forgot that one...

Would be faster nowadays, as a tunnel has just opened under the Pas de la
Casa...

Mmmmhhh... but I guess much less scenic... in the tunnel!
;-)

Jokes a part, are you sure the bus takes the tunnel?

It does, AFAIK. (avid skier in Soldeu... wishing that the always promised
rail link to La Seu d'Urgell and Andorra opens someday...).

(no, as it stands now, the 4 hour trip from Barcelona to La Tour in the
ruinous Spanish line is a tad too much).

Well, the new regional coalition of Catalonia now plans an AVE line from
Barcelona to Puigcerdà, via Vic.

Not a bad idea, but a different route may be more appropriate, like
Martorell-Manresa-Sierra del Cadi...

AVE? Are you sure? The PSC manifesto does not carry it as a HSL; more like a
good 160 km/h line. I mean, the cost of putting even a line like that in the
Ribes valley would be simply insane :-O.
