If you want to carry your bike onto both the Eurostar and the TGV you'll need to have it bagged. It makes sense as it makes the bike easier to carry and offers some protection from other peoples bags. You don't want a damaged De Rosa after all.

Eurostar you can book your unbagged bike on as freight for 20 knicker but it's hung up in the goods van in a kind of meathook-arrangement - which resulted in n scratches when we brightonengers cycled to paris last september and trained it back.
With a bike bag it's easy. There's loads of luggage racks/space on TGVs.
I'll be watching this thread, too, as I'm hoping to be accepted for the Fireflies ride this year
