My husband and I are traveling around Europe for a few weeks, and were hoping to catch an overnight train from Paris to Milan on April 20. However, it appears that the double sleeper cars are sold out. The only other option is a couchette.
Could I still find a sleeper cabin? Or, should we just do the couchette?
Our other option is to take a 3 p.m. train from Paris to Milan on April 20, but then we lose several hours in Paris.
Any suggestions for how we can get to Milan would be helpful!

I personally would not want to do the couchette. You would have no idea who you would have to share with - you%26#39;d have to be especially vigilant with securing your belongings etc., and I can%26#39;t imagine you would get much sleep.
The 3:00 p.m. train is an option, and you would at least get to see the French countryside in daylight hours. That would likely get you into Milan around 1:00 a.m. wouldn%26#39;t it? Then you%26#39;d have to find accommodations for the night.
Another option would be to fly. There are many airlines that fly inexpensively between European cities. Check with Expedia or some other comparison sites for prices.
Have a nice trip.
