@rvdborgt, thanks for your information. I did use your #85 trick originally, and everything was in English, except the last message before the call termination, which was in rapid French.

I suppose I will try to book reservations on site, which I don’t think will be an issue. Finally, I was able to get my legs to show up in the Eurail website. As you have said Bayeux legs never did, but Paris-Colmar showed up. And I think Frankfurt-Paris was booked. I considered buying separate full price tickets, but it was cheaper to change routes and go through Mannheim. Eurail did allow reservations on that route. If I pushed out my date to July, Frankfurt-Paris was available, which is why I assume that the passholder spaces are booked at this point.

But my other TGV (Frankfurt-Paris) is a no go on B-Europe, because I can’t enter Frankfurt as a starting point. I am currently trying to book this leg via the Eurail website.
