Overnight trains are getting harder and harder to find with the expansion of high speed service....I love European rail travel but at 150+ mph, crossing France only takes a shade over three hours, making it more of an amusement park ride than a mystery filled journey. Not to say that our trip to Le Creusot wasn't without intrigue...it turned out that the middle-aged femme sharing 'assigned' seats with us was ripping off the SNCF by traveling
sans billet.
Ironically, it takes about 45 minutes just to get through the line in the TGV's bar car.
