hello, i will be travelling from paris to basel by tgv. the reservation itself is extremely expensive - around 30€ for 2nd class. besides that, the interrail app says that there will be a supplement required - this apparently means that i will have to pay some supplement at the station or on board. i can't find anywhere what this means or how much the supplement is. does anyone have any ideas?
TGV supplement
Hey Johanka,
the 30€ is the supplement incl. reservation. Nothing else needed.
Cheaper variant would have been to take a TGV from Paris to Mulhouse and then go by TER to Basel. Takes a bit longer, but price would be only 10€… Maybe you can still exchange it at the station? (I don’t know about exact exchange rules, but you could try).
