Seat Reservation at SNCF

Hi there,

I´m planning a multistop trip from Spain to Germany. I´ve already bought a Pass, and could make all reservations except for one, from Hendaye to Paris with a TGV. For that connection I find: “ No price results were found for this connection. Please try searching again or find an alternative way to book”. The problem is, I cannot find any other alternative way to book the reservation, at least not a reasonable. I called today to SNCF, and they explicitely told me, it is not possible to buy seat reservations online, and also not at the phone. They said I must come to a french train station… which I can´t really believe…

I won´t be in france until exactly the day of beginning my journey, and the missing seat reservation is for the first train I would need…. so it would be really risky to wait until minutes before departure to go in person to the service at the station and ask for buying the seat reservation. That is really risky. If that doesn´t work, I lost the following connections for what I already have reservations.

Could somebody with experience on this help me, please? I cannot believe that this risky way the french company suggest me is really the only way…

Thanks a lot in advance!

Cheers,

Santiago.

No as Mobilepass have a different numbering.

Hi everyone,

 

Unless very urgent, please just fill out the form (https://eurail.zendesk.com/hc/en-001/requests/new) and our agents will take it from there. It’s not that busy so you can expect a reply within the same day. Keep also in mind that those who are already travelling can also book at any French station by showing their mobile Pass and without using any cover number.

 

Thanks for your patience!

And without paying any booking fee :)
