Hello!
May i use InterRail one country pass (France) for travelling from Avignon (France) to Interlaken (Switzerland) and from Interlaken to Paris? I found this routes on [ux]https://rail.shop/sncf[/ux] and I suppose that trains on these routes belong to france. Am i right?

you are partly right.
The BORDER is the point from wher you have to pay. And Swiss is VERY expensive nowadays and its trains have always been expensive-esp. without any type of pass.
France is France-and not 1 mm. beyond its frontiƫres.
It does not matter at all what is written on the trains-it matters who owns the rails. This also determines the faresystems.

Well, you are, but the One Country Pass France is only valid in France, not in Switzerland. If you want to travel in Switzerland you will need another ticket, for instance an One Country Pass Switzerland. Or you get a Global Pass which covers all InterRail countries.
It depends on the overall route you want to take.
