I took a quick look are "raileurope.com/us", and the fares (to Paris East) appear to be as follows:<BR><BR>First class $211<BR>Second class $143<BR><BR>I believe there are sleeping car and couchette options. You should look at this website. I often find the Swiss Rail site helpful as well, go to SBB.ch<BR>

Liz, thanks for the info. I live in Switzerland and buy my rail tickets through Swiss Rail using my ½ price card; but when I went to the SBB website to look at purchasing tickets from the US, it sent me to Raileurope.com/US. Interesting that you say they are more expensive. How much more on average do you think that site is from say SBB quotes? I have friends in the US who have used that site to plan trips.
