Hello,
we're interrailing in October and our last connection would be Paris-Frankfurt, so Germany is our country of residence. As the IR is not valid for us in Germany, do i have to pay something extra or can i just pay the usual reservation for TGV?
Thanks for all helpful responses!

Hi.
As you know already your date of return and the route, try to get an Europa-Sparpreis at [ux]https://rail.shop/bahn[/ux] ... for the full route it is available from EUR 29. As earlier you book as cheaper it is.
Otherwise you need a normal ticket from the border to Frankfurt.
Schöne Reise.

you have to pay the fare BORder=grenze-home, if that is FRA, check on [ux]https://rail.shop/bahn[/ux] what it would cost-you should get 50% discount on it (just like on a bahncard50). But most likely the 29€ is cheaper as that,..
Alternative: take the train only to nearest border (Forbach-just before Saarbrucken) en cover the rest with a landesticket-if you are with more, this pays off-but if you are Deutsch, you should already know. Of course then you can only use the Regional zuege=change more, take much more time.

In Germany you get only a discount of 25% on a ticket back to your home town:
