I am trying to reserve passes from Marseille to Barcelona which requires a stop in Nimes, France. The Marseille to Nimes train I can get a reservation, but I Cannot get a reservation Nimes to Barcelona. It says seat required so I am nervous to get to Nimes without that second part reserved.

 

Does anyone have good advice or will I have to book a flight? My dates aren’t flexible

The reservation to Barcelona is only available on paper and therefore has to be sent via the post if you book it online. That needs a certain time and 3 days is not enough.

If you're currently in France, then go to a ticket office and try to book there. Do that ASAP because pass holder seats are limited and can sell out.

Booking a flight is not needed. There are also alternatives via Portbou.
