Well, from Milan the best is to get to Chambery and Lyon and then  
west from there.  The SNCF site only gives me routes though Paris  
though.  No Toulouse route is shown.  Would going via Nice be a  
possibility?
In any case it looks the plane is still the best bet.

Come on.  A new huge tunnel will be carved through the Alps soon.  A  
third of the money comes from the French side.  Just throw in a few  
more euros and get past those hills you call the Massif Central :)   
Besides, I think these projects should be financed directly by our  
beyond-the-Channel friends. :)
