Hello,
I´m planing trip around the France by train. In some connections I will have to use TGV concretely from Paris to Arcachon. Now I have discoved that every TGV on this route have global price. My friend told me that I can´t buy only reservation for seat and use InterRail. I must buy all ticket include normal ticket plus reservation for seat. Is it tru??? Please answer me. Thank you so much

Hi ...
Just have a look at the supplement section, especially on the one for France:
https://rail.cc/en/interrail-train-reservation/france/fr
You have to pay for an TGV 3-10 EUR, depends on the time you travel - but in 90% of the cases it is EUR 3.

Thank you Peter for your quick answer. So if I understand well I can use InterRail for TGV too in spite of fact that TGV have a global price. So I can buy only reservation for seat without buying all ticket. Confirm this please. Is this fact valid even for Corail Lunéa that have global price too? I have looked at the site with supplement section but there isn´t anything about problem called global price (total price). Thank you for your time. George

Exactly. Just go to a train station in France (it is also possible in other countries) and buy there the reservation for a seat in a TGV. The reservation is as well the supplement. So 3-10 EUR per TGV you use. You do NOT have to pay anything else - only these 3-10 EUR. :)
For the Corail night trains you have to pay as well only the supplement which depends on the category of your beds:

Hello!

I read here that I can't make my reservation for a TGV via internet, but that I can go to a train station and they will help me. My problem is that I'm in Iceland, and here are no train stations! Where should I go to make my reservation?

Basically at all larger train stations (= with ticket selling staff) in continental Europe.
