More than 1 million people took a 🇫🇷 night train in 2024. I did this in 2023 and it was lovely - dinner in Paris, sleep on the train, wake up to see the Mediterranean outside the window and then into Nice in time for coffee and a croissant on the seafront
French night trains break 1-million passenger barrier
