Motor rail
I have just been looking at Motor Rail, for a train from London to Perpignan, (it's somewhere on the sight already but can't find it, from Polly I think) but I came across this....
Update for 2010: French Motorail has been discontinued...
Rail Europe have sadly announced the complete closure of the French Motorail service from Calais to southern France, due to rising costs and poor exchange rates. It will not be running in 2010 and may never run again. A great shame, it ran for many years and had many loyal customers.
Any other rail companies that you can recommend.

Laugh when you can, apologize when you should, and let go of what you can't change.
Life's too short to be anything... but happy.

Hi Marguerite - yes, it is sad, we used it a couple of times as you know. It was a bit rough and ready but did the job!
The service on offer now is Auto Train which you have to pick up in Paris. The car goes on a transporter and you travel on a separate TGV. I think there's a link to it on the Rail Europe website. Good luck!
