As of December 19th 2010, the TGV high speed rail system has opened to Perpignan from Figueres which allows direct service to Paris in approximately five hours. Some time in 2012, the AVE line to Barcelona (with a stop in Girona) will supposedly be completed and will allow high speed rail to other areas of Spain. Unfortunately, the "Figueres-Vilafant" station for the high speed lines is in the neighboring village of Vilafant which is approximately 5km from the center of Figueres, making it rather inconvenient for future travelers wishing to get to the sites in town without taking the connecting bus or a lengthy walk along non-scenic roads through the gypsy neighborhoods of the town.
