Hi, i am planing to go to Strassbourg using Interrail train but am struggling with the seat reservation. I have checked different websites and could not find where to reserve a seat for this trip.
Mein question is:
ICE and TGV to France have mandatory reservations.
The direct TGV München - Strasbourg (and other ICE/TGV to Strasbourg) can be booked by DB but you need to go to the ticket office or call 030 2970 (you can collect at a DB ticket machine).
There are also many reservation-free options, with a regional train between Appenweier or Offenburg and Strasbourg.

Mein question is:
I think you can make this trip without reservation costs. You just have to avoid the ICE/TGV in cooperation because reservation is mandatory.
INside Germany on DB it is in principle RES-free, untill last stop in DE (click on train nr on bahn.de and see what that is, maybe Karlsruhe, maybe Offenburg). Hourly short local trains run Ofbg-Strasbourg, without any RES. As so very, very often you can avoid the costly and difficult to get RES by changing more and using slower trains. Years ago this was quite a sporty thing to do among InterRailers, but it seems it has also all vanished, together with paper printed timetablebooks and general complete reliance on the trusted own fone.
