Yes, reservations are also mandatory in 1st class, but only on the train TER Nomad. You have to take a bus for the last leg of the journey. I suggest to reserve these seats on Rail Europe to avoid the additional fees of Eurail/Interrail.

Please note that although the bus is shown with mandatory reservations, that is incorrect, due to SNCF sending incorrect data. I used that bus myself and making reservations is just not possible (the SNCF ticket office really tried). If there are too many passengers, they just call for an extra bus.
