I haven't made that trip so I can't comment on the scenery.

I like trains and my experience may be colored by the fact that I can sleep well in a reclining seat. My wife and I and our adult daughter took the Nice-Paris night train and shared a couchette with three other people. Nobody made a sound all night and the movement of the train was not unpleasant. However, if I get the chance to take another night train, I'll plan to move up to at least a four-bunk couchette for the extra luggage space and comfort.
