Hi all
Looking at reserving a 2nd class couchette on this service for four people.
On the sncf booking site it appears I can still get a private space (Espace Privatif), but here I can’t tell if one of the above prices is for a private couchette. Any ideas? If not, do we know what the price difference is?
Many thanks
Paul

Unfortunately you can't book Espace Privatif with a pass.
You're correct - the cheaper reservation is for seats only. The other is for 4 beds in a 6-berth compartment.
Rail Europe shows this information much better.
OK I may have just worked out that the price difference is seat v couchette?
If so, any thoughts on how I can book private?

Do you know if the price of €316.00 includes an upgrade for 2nd class passes or if it is the price for 1st class passes?

I thought it was the cash price, but it does appear to be a Eurail/ Interrail price, including an upgrade fee for second class pass holders. It's cheaper than the full cash price for that date.
If you have a first class pass, the price for the 4-berth drops to €100.
Interesting! Thanks.
I wasn’t able to find the journey in raileurope before, but now it’s there! Must have been searching wrong.

I found that it didn’t show up when you search Paris (all stations) to Latour (all stations). You need Paris Austerlitz to Latour de Carol-Enveitg!
This is a long-standing issue. The Interrail website does not show the difference between seat and couchette on an SNCF night train.
Just looking at this again, I’m heading on to Barcelona and it seems there’s a bunch of trouble getting from Latour to Barcelona. So looking at the night train Paris to Perpignan instead.
Trying to work out the different tickets available (not with Interrail - working out cost differences). Raileurope shows:
b-europe shows:
Can’t work out which ticket this is on b-europe as it clearly shows private couchette for EUR482, but raileurope only seems to show private 1st class for GBP520? The private couchette doesn’t appear to be available on raileurope?
And here’s my next bit of confusion. trainline has:
Assume this is the same as b-europe, but why does it offer ‘couchette 2nd’ at additional cost?
