Here they are: Tout's sort's de gueux se faufil'nt en cachette Et sont heureux de trouver une couchette, Hotel du courant d'air, ou l'on ne paie pas cher, L'parfum et l'eau c'est pour rien mon marquis Sous les ponts de Paris.
On overnight services to Berlin, Munich and Innsbruck, which all take longer, you can travel in a second-class couchette from pounds 184 or in a private two-berth sleeper from pounds 219 per person.
Rail travel also makes it easier to plan two or three centre holidays: second class returns within Europe include Munich-Vienna (pounds 55), Paris-Lausanne (pounds 44), Paris-Milan (pounds 86), and Brussels-Hamburg overnight (pounds 109) including a couchette.
