Idnight - Train !!

Has anyone had an experience on the Idnight train. We want to take the overnight from Nice to Paris.

What is the luggage polcy !

Do they allow 2 baggages per person !!

I was just checking the prices - it shows first class and 2nd class as the same price of 27 Euros. Is there something hidden in this, or its just too good to be true.

Pls Help

Sometimes you just get a good deal!

2 bags per person is not a problem.

Thanks

A friend of a friend of mine - [a real one not an urban legend one ] took the idTGv recently and has already booked up again .

They loved it.

Apparently its possible to change %26#39;ambiances%26#39; during the trip- so if you sign up for the %26#39;night%26#39; or party section and then fancy a zen [silent] experience you can transfer between them by asking the train staff.

Me and a friend of mine are also planning to take this IDtrain but from Paris to Nice 9th of May

We would like to know which way is it better; to book a place from silent cabin or party one? I mean is it more possile to have a chance to visit party place if feels like it or get a place to sleep if get tired? =D

How early we should book the trip?

hoping for little advices;

You can change between the sections from silent to gaming/dvd to party during the trip - you just have to ask the staff

If tickets for your travel dates are up on the website i would book it now

%26quot;Is there something hidden in this, or its just too good to be true.%26quot;

Nothing hidden in this, it is a low cost offer from SNCF. But you should know that iDZEN and iDZAP choice is for trips in the day only. iDNIGHT is a train for people who like to party; as you can%26#39;t sleep, it is mostly dedicated to young people:

There is a luggage restriction actually (unlike %26quot;normal%26quot; TGV) : you can have 2 luggage per person or one luggage and one %26quot;other thing%26quot; such as a stroller, a bicycle, a snowboard, etc:

If you need to take more luggage, you pay an additionnal cost of 35€ per piece (2 extar ieces max).

Its not jkust young folk from what i%26#39;ve heard plus

you have the option of silence with idZEN

from the site

iDzen means that you can travel in complete peace and quiet, guaranteed by our supervisor. What is the secret of the iDZen carriages? A good behaviour charter that each passenger promises our supervisor to respect. This ensures that you can travel in perfect peace and quiet.

Also you can watch dvds with earphones in idZen -and the machines and films can be hired from the bar

|||

If you look at the site, you%26#39;ll see that iDZEN and IDZEN choice is for day time schedule only. With iDNIGHT, you don%26#39;t have this choice.

It says iDNight also means a Lounge carriage for peace and quiet: you can sleep here or play in the most restful silence possible!

You can also hire dvds and play board games etc on the night train

I thought these were considered the Zen and zap ambiance and what was meant by being able to change between ambiances on the night train.
