I need to tale night train from paris to dusseldorf (prefer around midnight departure) where can I find info?

Are there trains that go from Paris to Dusseldorf at night?

Can I simply hop on the train which originated in a different city and makes a short stop in Paris? Is there a good website ?

eurorail.com offers me very few chioces. Looking for something better. Thank you!I need to tale night train from paris to dusseldorf (prefer around midnight departure) where can I find info?
I found 3 possibilities, since you really want a night train. (I like them, too.)

#1. Depart Paris Est at 19:24 on TGV 2375 direction: Mulhouse Ville

Arrive in Strasbourg at 21:43 , then change in

Strasbourg, depart at 22:20 on EN 265 EuroNight Orient-Express direction: Wien Westbahnhof, but just go to

Baden-Baden, arrive at 23:05

From Baden-Baden dep. at 23:51 on CNL40408 CityNightLine Pegasus direction: Amsterdam Centraal

Arrive at D眉sseldorf Hbf next morn. at 06:13



#2 Depart Paris Nord at 21:55 on THA 9369 THALYS direction: Bruxelles-Midi

arrive at Bruxelles-Midi at 23:17, then change. Depart

Bruxelles-Midi at 23:41 on CNL 237 CityNightLine Andromeda direction: Hamburg-Altona to

Dortmund Hbf arriving at 05:15, then change %26amp; depart

Dortmund Hbf at 05:23 on ICE 525 InterCityExpress direction: M眉nchen Hbf

Arrive at D眉sseldorf Hbf at 06:18

OR, if you don't want to get up at 5:23, stay on the train to

Osnabruck, arriving at 6:22, change to Eurocity EC 7, direction: Chur, departs at 6:37 and arrives in Duss. at 8:25



#3. Depart Paris Est at 22:45 on CNL 261 CityNightLine Cassiopeia direction: M眉nchen Hbf

to Stuttgart Hbf, arriving at 6:11, then change to ICE 614

departing at 7:51 towards Dortmund, arriving at Dusseldorf Hbf at 10:32

OR, if you don't mind changing in the wee hours, you could get out at Karlsruhe at 4:55, then change at

Karlsruhe Hbf at 05:59 to ICE 972 InterCityExpress direction: Berlin Ostbahnhof

to

Mannheim Hbf arr. at 06:22 and change at

Mannheim Hbf at 06:35 to ICE 616 InterCityExpress direction: Dortmund Hbf

arriving in

D眉sseldorf Hbf at 08:32



These trains will all require reservations.
There don't appear to be any late night trains to Dusseldorf from Paris. The latest one you can take departs at 3:55pm:

If your objective is to spend the night on a train, there is a direct train that departs Paris Nord at 8:46pm and arrives Berlin Spandau at 7:52am (you don't have to change trains between Paris %26amp; Berlin). There are trains every hour from Berlin to Dusseldorf, but you will have to change stations (to Berlin HauptBanhof). Berlin is a LONG way past Dusseldorf, but the overnight trip could be nice if the extra time is not a problem.



Good luck!I need to tale night train from paris to dusseldorf (prefer around midnight departure) where can I find info?
www.sbb.ch

it is the Swiss trains website but gives accurate travel info for all european trains. used it to book a 6 week interrailing trip and all times were right on schedule.
Best to ask a travel agency, they know, if not they will check! Websites are not always so reliable!
