I don't see a night train from the CT to Paris. There used to be one but I don't see it anymore. There is a couchette night train from Nice to Paris that takes 10.5hrs that departs Nice at 19:40. That means that you have to get to Nice from the CT in time to meet the train. That's another 6.0hrs. You would have to depart La Spezia on the 10:40 to get to Nice at 16:01 which is 3 hours early. You could take the 12:55 train to Nice but it is scheduled to arrive in Nice Ville 22 minutes before the night train departs. Too close. If your train is late, you'll miss the night train.

Other train options are to journey to Bologna or Milan to pick night trains from those locations to Paris.

One other alternative is to take the train to Pisa and fly to Paris-Orly on Easyjet, one of the inexpensive airlines.

You can leave La Spezia at 18:40 on a direct train to Milano Centrale, arriving at 21:50. The direct night train leaves at 23:35 and arrives in Paris at 09:42.
