Any experts on 1930s swiss trains?

Specifically, for a novel I'm working on, does anyone know:
1 In 1932 was there a direct service Paris to Geneva?
2 If so, was it a corridor train?
3 How long would the journey take?
4 Which station in Paris would it leave from?
5 Which station in Geneva would it go to?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello Writer and welcome to the Railway Forum. I'm sorry I don't know the answer to your question but someone on this site will give you an answer. Some of the members only visit every now and again, so you may have to give it a bit of time before you get an answer.

Hi "writer". I think it's a expert on French trains that you need.
I suggest you contact someone at the SNCF Society. Their Technical Advisor is called Gordon Wiseman but I'm afraid that I don't have an email address for him.
