Trains departing at different times can be cheaper than others leaving on the same day, so you may need to look through the day's departures to find the cheapest fares.

Rail pass users:

The rail pass reservation fees on the TGVs between Paris and Luxembourg are now the same price as on the TGVs, which operate solely within France, so they're not the bargain they used to be, sadly.

However, there are direct trains, on which no rail pass fees are charged, on from Luxembourg to both Liege and Koblenz.

So if you have a rail pass and will be travelling from Paris to south or east Belgium or northern Germany - taking these trains and connecting in Luxembourg, is a cheaper alternative to taking the Thalys trains between Paris and Belgium/Germany.

Oui.SNCF Guide

SNCF is the national rail operator in France and not so long ago it recently simplified both the range of tickets and the term and conditions of using them.
Therefore the cheapest tickets also become more flexible too.

Other improvements included a simple integration of travelling with bicycles and rail pass users being able to book reservations for national journeys, without paying booking fees.

Though a legacy of when SNCF sold international tickets under the Rail Europe branding is that OuiSNCF is available in multiple translations with the offerings on the site then tailored to international visitors to France.
However, some of the site's features, including the integration of mobility assistance into the booking path, are only available on the French language version.

Something else to look out for is that simplest way of travelling with tickets is to use the SNCF 'My Travel' phone app, so it's therefore often a good idea to book on the OuiSNCF mobile service.

Good to Know

It is not a scenically interesting journey from Paris to Luxembourg.

What  gives this journey its wow factor is that for some of this trip you'll be travelling at more than 300 km/h on the the fastest high speed line in France!

Around 13 minutes after departure the train will move on to the high speed line, then between Champagne-Ardennes and station and the point at which it will slow down to move on to the conventional railway, it will be travelling exceptionally fast.
