Hello everyone,
I'm totally new to the whole 'compulsory reservation' thing so I thought I asked the question here:
How much does a reservation for the TGV between Lyon and Brussels costs? (The TGB 9855 according to the planner) The interrail website states that there a limited amount of seats to be reserved for interrailpass users, since my travel with be in July it's not yet 3 months in advance.
Where can I make my reservation for interrail tickets? I've seen sites where I can add the pass, but it will only try to sell me full tickets (probably because it's not yet 3 months in advance...)
Any extra advice is also very much appreciated..

A reservation for Interrailers on a TGV costs 9 euro 1st class / 9 euro 2nd class. However, in some cases when it's rather crowded you have to pay double. The alternative is to use non-highspeed trains... but that'll take you ~18 hours (however with an overnight stay in Paris why not? :) ).

Haha, I've been to Paris often enough to know I don't want to stay there overnight (money-wise).
Where can I make this reservations though?

So I checked both ACP Rail and SNCF sites.
I can't find the reservation that cost like 9/18€. I can only find tickets for about 45€ p.p. on SNCF and ACPR tells me Online prices are currently unavailable for the selected route.
Anyone able to help me out?

As far as I know, international TGV reservations are not available via [ux]https://rail.shop/sncf/reservation/[/ux]
You'll have to buy it at a station if it doesnt show up at ACP...or go Lyon - Lille, then by local train to Brussels.

In case anyone else runs into this problem, I bought a reservation on [ux]https://rail.shop/sncf/reservation[/ux] for the part from Lyon to Paris, and using [ux]https://rail.shop/nsinternational[/ux] the part Paris-Brussels.
