Trains in France are complicated with bikes... trying to get a proper answer from SNCF about availability is a pain in the arse.
Nightjet say this:

Good that they have any at all but 3 spaces sounds risky - just need a family to wipe it out... Book early I guess.
I agree about France and the TGVs, but I always thought that it will be ok if you stay off the TGVs, no?
I've used the slow trains in NL and Spain before, in order to avoid bagging my bike. They are damn slow though and it adds complexity to actually booking and doing the journey. It's no wonder everyone just flies and drives.
