Hi everybody,
I'm new here so I am sorry if i do anything wrong with the topic title or something like that!
Me and my girlfriend are planning to have an interrail trip this summer.
Our trip will be 15 days and by the following route:
Nijkerk (NL) - Barcelona (12hr25)
Barcelona - Valencia (during our stay in Valencia we will visit for one day Madrid)
Valencia - Nice
Nice - Paris
Paris - Nijkerk (NL)
I am really concerned about the reservation prices for the Thalys and TGV. I know that the Thalys from Rotterdam to Paris had an price around the 39 euro, but i can't find the price for Lille - Barcelona / Paris - Barcelona. Can anyone help me find this?!
And can anyone check if I am right with this other fees?
Barcelona - Valencia 6.50?
Valencia - Madrid 6.50
Valencia - Nice ????
Nice - Paris ????
Thank you ! :D

Hi!
IMO that is quite a tricky route due to the high reservation costs of both Thalys and the TGV/AVE between France and Spain.
What kind of Interrail ticket do you want to get? It might be cheapest if you would try to combine a 5in10 IR ticket plus tickets bought in advance for either Nijkerk - Barcelona or Nice/Paris - Nijkerk.
Also you could think about travelling Barcelona - Madrid - Valencia within one day which would save you one travel day.
Valencia - Madrid is 10€/6,50€ depending on the train; there would be reservation-free regional trains as well but that would make no sense if you want to make a day trip.
Valenica - Nice is going to be a looong journey but can be done within one day. You will need a reservation for Valencia - Barcelona (6,50€) and Barcelona - Montpellier (~15€), the remainder can be done with regular trains.
You can get reservations for domestic trains in France online at [ux]https://rail.shop/sncf/reservation[/ux]
