The train ride was fairly uneventful other than discovering we were sitting in the wrong train car and had to move halfway through the trip. Also it was amazing how much cloudier it got the closer to Paris the train went. I think I miss the Cote d'Azul already! I could also get used to only having to show up 20 minutes before departure time for a train. Much better than 2 hours!
On the way back we sat in 1st class since it was only a few euro more. The only difference is wider seats that recline (there are 3 for each row, vs 4 in 2nd class), a single power port per row, and a guy did come by to take food and drink orders (though you had to pay extra for it, it wasn't included). Really if it's more than 10 euro it's really not worth the extra cost, and if you're remotely trying to save every cent, it's not worth any extra money unless you really need a power port. The seats in 2nd class are light years bigger and roomier than on an airplane so anyone would be fine.
After we got back I caught up on work email (since surprisingly the train doesn't have WiFi and my phone kept going in and out of signal) and just hung out all night. I actually had missed crepes since apparently in Nice they only have dessert ones, based on the ones we passed.
