Reservations when missing trains?

Hello everyone, I hope you’re all doing well!Sooo, in a few days I will do a little surfing trip to Biarritz ( France ) from Germany ( Berlin ).I’ve just noticed that I only have 10 minutes to change the train at Bordeaux on the way back home.Since I have never used the train to travel I have some questions for this:1. Are the trains in France reliable to arrive on time?2. Can the staff on trains/train-stations speak English?3. What happens if I miss the train? I know that I am supposed to take the next one but it is mandatory to reserve seats on french trains. Can I just take the next train without reserving a seat? Do I need reserve/pay for a seat on the next train? What if the next train is fully booked?4. Same question as 3, but referred to the following train since I will miss that one too (Paris to Germany).The trains from Paris to Germany ( Frankfurt/Köln/Mannheim ) seem to be fully booked for that day. I am just worried that I won’t be able to get on the next train if i miss mi
