We shared with friends going, but coming back there were four of us and a couple. A lady I met on the station while waiting for our car to be unloaded, shared with her daughter plus an elderly couple, their grand daughter, who was a baby, a dog and cat (complete with litter tray......) Our friends who traveled back separately also had a bad experience as their daughter was unwell and the couple they were with kept switching off the light making it difficult for them to get to the toilet along the corridor, then get her settled etc...... Having said that, when it goes well its really pleasant...... I believe that they now guarantee that you won't have to share a compartment with strangers. It's several years since we did it (since buying our holiday home in Normandy we've not been south) but always found it a good experience. Expensive - yes, but ideal if you've only got one driver and limited time.    Report
