Book Train tickets early or...?

Hey all,

This December I will be traveling from Madrid to Barcelona, and then from Barcelona to Paris. After cursory research, I've come to the conclusion I need to take the AVE train from Madrid to Barcelona and take an overnight train (Eurostar maybe?) from Barcelona to Paris. However I can't seem to figure out if I need to book these train tickets early or if I should buy them day-of. Does anybody have advice or information for me? I'd greatly appreciate it.

Thanks!

No experience of the overnight train, but for AVE it will be cheaper the sooner you book the cheaper it is. And I suspect the same for the overnight train to Paris.

The overnight trains from Barcelona to Paris are operated by Elipsos. If you book your ticket online and in advance you could get one of the discounted fares.

BTW, there are also overnight trains from Madrid to Paris (operated by Elipsos too).

Why don't you go by plane? It's cheaper, shorter, easier...
