Paris Metro sucks when you're carrying a shitload of bike and related kit.. a bike bag with wheels is definitely recommended.. and they had no luggage gates and no one watching them to open the locked gate. My bike with pedals still on only just fit. Don't get your courier bag stick in the auto closing gates - take it off and carry it in front of you! Also, getting on at Paris and heading to Toulouse on TGV, people will put their crap on top of your bike if it's in the racks. Basically carrying a bike around sounds but riding it around makes up for the hassle. Eurostar top rack = fine.
