Hi,
I already have used the interrail ticket for several times, but this time I really have trouble getting reservations and now travel time is longer than expected. I know that I am late this time for reservations in the next two weeks in France, but the last time it worked for me. So, it would be nice to see if reservations are possible for my train connections before I buy a pass and then I could decide against it. Is this possible?
Greetings
Martin

This in fact only relates to TGV-and the 3-4 overnite trains:
there is a quota for passholders-then its 10€ extra, this may be very small or 0
IF this is taken-then the price goes to 20€ (more as very short trips at full fare) and that is as long as there are seats-which you can easily check by making a dummy booking normally.
This is for domestic=inland, its different for overtheborder, but from DE you can easily use local trains to hop over.
On most main lines you can always go via the local TER trains-via what they call the ´classic lines´-then you will note how much faster these TGV travel have made-and FR is quite big-
There are various ways to make reservations (and check availability) for French trains.
You can call b-europe and make the reservation.
The phone call is rather expensive.

Another way to make reservations for French trains is to call SNCF.

Press #85 for English, no booking fees, reservations are sent via e-mail. Not all credit cards are accepted.
For domestic French reservations, you can also call NS. Also no booking fees and they do accept VISA. Remember the country code (+31)
