The reservations for the TGV France - Spain are only available on paper and will have to be sent via the post. The only alternative to going to a ticket office is to phone Spanish railways at +34 91 232 03 20, but then you'll need to pick up the reservations at a Spanish station within 72 hours. I'm sorry but French and Spanish railways are not exactly customer-friendly. No worries. This is very helpful. I was wondering if there we alternative options and you’ve helped me see that there doesn't appear to be any. Thank you.
Both services I mentioned can also book the TGV trains between France and Spain, sorry if that wasn't clear. And send the reservations via the post. Please note that Deutsche Bahn's number should be +49 30 2970. The number I mentioned first doesn't seem to be reachable from abroad (I just tried). Thank you. Unfortunately, sending via post seems to be my problem since the departure dates are a week and a half away. I can go through the booking process on the eurail website, but since they require being sent by post, I can’t finish the reservation process since the website says they won’t arrive in time. So I’m looking for an alternative method other than the night before the train departs, which is when I’d be in Europe to go in person to a train station to reserve.
You can also try: Deutsche Bahn phone service (+49 30 5512 for the international phone service). They can also book domestic trains in Spain. Belgian railways phone service. According to their documentation, they can also book domestic trains in Spain. Which exact trains are you trying to book and on which date(s)? Thanks. The Spain (Madrid-Barcelona) leg I know is only available in the station or by calling and doing a hold 72 hours before departure. I’m trying to lock down the Barcelona-Paris (TGV 9702) leg of the train travel on December 3rd. And likewise, the return trip from Paris to Figueres Vilafant (TGV 9713) on December 11th. Will both those services also book the TGV trains too?
@Nanja do you have any advice, please?
