Hi. Im in Paris and can't book a seat reservation via the interrail website to Marseille (22€). I don't wanna spend about 130€ on a normal ticket. What can i do?

You forgot to mention travel date and departure time.

If you're in Paris, go and ask at a ticket office or try an SNCF ticket machine (a white one, from Grandes Lignes). Reservations should be either 10 or 20€ for a domestic TGV.

Online, you can book on interrail.eu (currently only 20€ + 2€ booking fee) or Belgian railways (10 or 20€ + 4€ per order) here:

Go to a SNCF ticket office and make the reservation or use a SNCF ticket machine.


The counters will have long lines, the machines generally not and can easy set to /en/. You have to first specify ´buy ticket´ and later-from a very long menu, choose this ´reduction´. NOte that this yr it will NOT even print a ticket anymore-you also have to provide all personal details-name, fone nr, @mail and then you get a mail with the ticket in it. You do not really have to print that out.

Depending on the exact options you choose you can still have a printed reservation. IIRC you won't get one if you log in with your SNCF account.
