Hi it’s my first experience here and I want to to book a night train between toulouse to Paris in august. I can’t do it on the website Eurail. the train is already available for reservation on the SNCF website. Is someone know what’s wrong or what have I to do ? Thank you for your help. Stephanie

Interrail enforces a 90 days policy for no reason. You can book on Rail Europe (desktop version, click on add rail pass). 20€ for a couchette.

General guide : https://www.seat61.com/interrail-and-eurail-reservations.htm

Also possible at SNCF ticket counters of course.

Off topic but note that as a French resident you can only travel on 2 days in France. If you take another train the following morning you'll have used those 2 days and will have to pay a separate ticket to get home.

Ways to avoid that :

- travel during the day

- buy a couchette ticket and use your pass from the following day

On a random August day I see couchettes for 46€ (37€ with Carte Avantage).

Questions welcome.

ok je vais regarder avec un ticket “normal” et merci pour l’astuce des 2 jours en France ! je l’avais pas du tout intégré, j’aurai été un peu embêté au retour ^^
