has anyone used this service run by SNCF? I%26#39;m thinking of using it to get back to the UK but there doesn%26#39;t seem to be much information their site.
IT keeps mentioning that you can travel separately from the car on a different train but can you also travel on the same train as the car in the night?
There is also a service, I believe from frejus to metz, i wonder if this is easier for me to use (final destination is Calais) so I don%26#39;t have to drive through paris.
Any info would be great, thanks.

Frejus-Metz is June to September only. Only Paris routes in winter: voyages-sncf.com/guide/…

Paris it is then, thanks for letting me know. Have you used this service? I%26#39;ve looked on their website and I can%26#39;t find the departure/arrival times anywhere only that they travel on tuesdays, thursdays and saturdays.

No, I haven%26#39;t used it - been tempted a couple of times though and may still use it in future. If you do use it, let us know how it went!
They don%26#39;t seem to give precise times for the trains anymore. They used to, but I can%26#39;t find them now. But what they do give is the precise time intervals when you can load and unload your car - on the link above click %26#39;telechargez tous les horaires et destinations -hiver 2008-09%26#39; for after December 14, or enter Nice and Paris above this text and click the resulting PDF for dates up to then.

On thinking about this further, there%26#39;s no need for SNCF to give the precise train times. You cannot travel on the train with your car, so loading/unloading times are all that matters. For personal travel, you have to get a different train, either overnight or during the day.

that%26#39;s good to know about having to travel separately then. I travelled down from Calais to Nice in September with a different company (not SNCF) and it was all very easy. On that train you do travel down with your car. I shall report on here after I%26#39;ve been on the SNCF one. Thanks for your help.
