Paris to Nice by Night Train

• A colleague of mine recently took some vacation, her name is Lina Thuresson, she enjoys travelling by train and took 2 very different trips, here is the first one:

  "Having traveled the length of France in one day using three modes of transport the thought of an overnight stay in Paris and an early flight home did not sound appealing. I therefore decided to give the night train a chance, where the time I would have spent checking-in and -out of the hotel, transportation to the airport, airport security check and boarding was skipped…  The gap time between the connecting trains was spent in a quiet restaurant.  Once on the train, the compartments did not have that first-class feel I expected, but it was comfortable and clean. Climbing up to my top bunk I found a complementary bottle of water and earplugs. I arrived in Nice refreshed after a good night's sleep. With this in mind together with its low pricing and convenience, I would not hesitate to take the night train again."
