Hi!

The direct services from Paris Austerlitz to Orléans do not require an extra reservation; neither do trains with destinations such as Montlucon, Bourges or Tours.
A reservation is required on the former Teoz trains to Limoges - Brive la Gaillarde - Toulouse but these do not stop directly at Orléans anyway, but only call at Les Aubrais-Orléans, a suburb. These trains are also marked with reservation obligatoire on the departure boards and monitors.

Hi :)

When you say The direct services from Paris Austerlitz to Orléans do not require an extra reservation this mean i can enter in the train and sit anywhere, and go to Orleans. Without paying a ticket in the station or in the train, right? its a little bit confuse to me, when sometimes appears, a train, that doesnt need a reservation, but show some prices in 2nd class: 6€ for example. That means we dont need to make a reservation in the station, but in the train they can charge us for a sit. right? Say yes please :P ehehe

thanks

Hi Petrox.

Yes, enter the train and just sit down.
It is a free Intercité train: [u]https://rail.cc/en-type-country/intercit%C3%A9s/sncf-ic/108[/u]

The type of Intercité train you have to pay is here: [u]https://rail.cc/en-type-country/intercit%C3%A9s-ex-t%C3%A9oz/sncf-ic/46[/u]

And please help us to help you with the information on railcc - buy your official Interrail pass on the recommended website: [ux]https://rail.shop/interrail[/ux] - as it is not fair to buy somewhere else and ask at railcc for support. Thank you! :)
