Hey
I've taken the train from Paris several times to Toulouse with my bike.
Its not very expensive, about 150 euros I think, to Bordeaux I'd guess something like 100 euro.
It only goeqs saturdays or sundays if my memory is correct.
Gare de Bercy, in front of passenger station (gare) austerlitz, their is a shuttle between the both stations.
Now you could ride, I just went up thru the Loire valley etc until here in Ireland where I now am.
And the route is very beautiful, you can stop drink a  near every famous castle and lay down for a rest in the parks.
From Belgium to Bordeaux, the best option is to ride it, but be carefull in sumertime on those small national roads, french allready drive like crazy, though you'll also have the confused tourists with their cars!
Have a nice journey
Matt
