Hello dear community, I have a one Country pass for France (which includes 3 days) but I feel like I can only go to Paris, because for all other destinations I have to activate additional trips. Am I wrong about that?"

Ok but my First Journey starts at Forbach to paris . This is one day . And i have go back to forbach at the end of the Trip .

You can go from Forbach to Paris and then - as long as it's still the same day - take a train from Paris to wherever you please (eg Bordeaux). Same for your return journey. If you want to visit Paris, you can do Forbach-Paris on travel day 1, Paris-Bordeaux (or wherever else you please) on travel day 2 and Bordeaux-Paris-Forbach on travel day 3. 

Be aware with a One country pass France you can only use it within France. You can not use it for journeys via Germany (Forbach-Saarbrûcken-Paris: not possible)

Hello ​@Toni92 

You can make more as one journey on a travel day, for example Strasbourg - Paris, Paris - Bordeaux and Bordeaux -Toulouse.

Your ticket allows you to travel on an unlimited number of trains in France on 3 days of your choosing within a 1 month period starting from your first day of use.
