Can anyone recommend the best website to purchase TGV train tickets Paris - Nice? I have looked at TGV-Europe.com any other suggestions?

voyages-sncf.com and tgv-europe.com are the same system, one in French, the other in various langauges including English. So use www.tgv-europe.com, but if you're from the USA say you're from Great Britain or Canada to book in English, get the option to collect at the station or self-print. If you admit to being from te US they bump you to their US subsidiary Rail Europe, with higher prices.

What else do you want if you don't like that website.

The systems aren't exactly the same, the interface differs, but they are both run by the official rail companyies.

As far as pricing and schedules, I find voyages-sncf.com and tgv-europe.com identical.

voyages-sncf.com has additional features such as alért résa and last minute fare deals (basically reissued PREMs) but it is only available in French.

My suggestion is that you take another look at tgv-europe.com, there is no better site for booking TGVs. Well, you could also take a look at idtgv.com which sells TGV tickets 4-6 months in advance, prices start at 19€ each way and increase as tickets are sold but these will also be available on tgv-europe.com.
