Hi Kevin.
Yes you can, but you have to pay an extra reservation fee, as the seats are limited for Interrail travellers.
[u]https://rail.cc/en-type-country/train-%C3%A0-grande-vitesse/sncf-tgv/42[/u]
Booking either here in the railcc shop: [u]https://rail.cc/en/interrail-train-reservation[/u]
More information: [u]https://rail.cc/en/interrail-train-reservation[/u]
Some conncetions are listed here (it is Paris - Nice, but most go via Marseilles). You will find as well slower but free connections to Marseilles:

I don't know is it official, but if you don't have a reservation, you can ask the manager of the train if you can travel. I was travelling like that three times, and there was no problem to seat in the corridor.

Hi.
And how much did you have to pay extra? As it is new to me that it is allowed to sit on the floor in their TGV trains. :)

there was no fees (with global pass) in that case. But it was only with TGV connection inside France. We wanted to buy a reservation for a journey in the same day morning and of course the train was all reserved. we started to ask about other connection, firstly lady said that there's no option, and after few minutes she said that if we really need to go we can ask the manager of the train... As i remembered there was some poeople travelling that way beside as. We were sitting in the seats in the corridor between wagons. The conductor was ok with that:) I think it depends from the day ( it wasn't a weekend) and how many people travel. :)
