    Book a cabin, not a couchette

    Posted by George Young 15 August 2007

    On the Compagnie des Wagons-Lits service, avoid the couchette and book a three-person cabin. This will easily suffice a family of four, as the second child can sleep in the luggage rack. Greater privacy and as comfortable as the beds (yes, that says little about the bed comfort, but ...).
