hello and sorry for the writing mistakes, i'm reaching here from a mobile phone. the question is, i found a train that goes nice from paris departuring at 22 and arriving at 8 (i think). we went to the ticket office at paris gare de lyon and they said that the train is full and it is impossible to get on the train without reservation. but we habe to take this train, can't we get this journey on the floor without a seat? i think it's a lunea train and the route is direct. it's an emergency, i'll be waiting for your answers and be controlling when i find internet tomorrow. thanks in advance.

Hi.
Which date you want to travel.
And yes, you will need a reservation to enter the train.
Details here:

If you want to order online, go on voyages-sncf.com , select the train, and as Carte et Abonnement select: Abo Forfait 2e.
Book it and pick it up at a train station.

I just checked as departure date the 23th. Still seats and berths left (EUR 2 / 20).

If it is an emergency, why don't using a much faster day train?

Peter :)

Just checked the date of the 22th like mentioned above and berths are still available. It depends on how many travellers you are?
Just check the website I gave you.

Yes. It seems it is now too late to order online or all places are gone now. :(
