12 Hours on European Sleeper's FIRST Train to PARIS... With a Twist!

Today, I take you onboard the inaugural European Sleeper night train from Berlin to Paris, a brand new connection linking two major European capitals overnight. This is a journey I had been looking forward to: a private sleeper, a full night onboard, and the chance to experience again one of Europe’s most interesting new railway operators. But… things didn’t quite go as planned. Just hours before departure, my booking was unexpectedly changed, raising questions about what kind of accommodation I would actually get and how the situation would be handled.

Despite the challenges, European Sleeper is doing something genuinely commendable: bringing back affordable night trains across Europe. And that’s something worth supporting. So… was this a good night on “The Good Night Train”? Come along and find out! 🚆 Journey details: Train: European Sleeper (inaugural Berlin → Paris service) Route: Berlin → Brussels Accommodation: Single Sleeping car (Comfort Plus) Departure: Berlin Hbf Arrival: Brussels-South (Bruxelles-Midi / Brussel-Zuid) 💬 Let me know in the comments: Would you take a night train like this across Europe?
