Hi Lauren.
It is not always possible to book connections crossing countries online. As there are different railway companies having different booking engines. We try our best to make it easy - but it is not always possible.
Let me know which connection you want to travel?
The direct night train is expensive.
There are nice options by crossing the Pyrenees with the Little Yellow Train, using before a cheap French night train.

i'm trying to take the ellipsos 477 train... i found double 1st class sleeper car tickets for 278 euro for the pair. expensive, but i thought it would be worth it to not have to waste a whole day sitting on a train, and to not have to pay for a hotel that night. i looked on xxxxxxxxx, and the same tickets cost more than double that price! any idea of where else i could look that would be closer to the [ux]https://rail.shop/sncf[/ux] price??

This train is known to be expensive.
The website you mentioned, I removed - sorry. But the railccs don't like this company!
The cheapest ticket should be available from the SNCF website or [ux]https://rail.shop/sncf[/ux] or here at the railcc shop: [u]https://rail.cc/en/search-train-route[/u]
Other option for this trip: French night train Paris - Port Bou (often special prices for less than EUR 50) - [u]https://rail.cc/en/night-train/paris-portbou-icn-3731/78[/u]
Book via [ux]https://rail.shop/omio[/ux] or [ux]https://rail.shop/sncf[/ux]
Then by Spanish RENFE train to Barcelona - available from EUR 30.
If you want to have a little adventure, I definitely recommend the Little Yellow Train:

Then by local train down to Barcelona.
