You can book on line directly with the French railways www.sncf.com - there is an English version of their site with full details timetables, prices, discounts, couchettes, seat choice etc.,.

Contact European Rail Ltd on 0207 387 0444 / email sales@europeanrail.demon.co.uk , website: www.europeanrail.com for booking tickets on French railways

A couple of hints though - 

  • make sure you get couchette seats together  

  • but if you don't then do move to another seat you can always swap your ticket with the other person 

  • and make sure you have a short connection in Paris - waiting three to four hours in Gare du Nord is not much fun and you generally don't have any energy to do anything else particularly last thing at night or first thing in the morning.
