Hi! I'm planning my Interrail eurotrip with my friend. We have such a problem.
We have train from Berlin to Paris on our route. We don't know how to book the reservation for that train.
1) Is there any possibility to book a reservation by phone (call to SNCF or something?) and receive it at the station when we get to Paris?
2) We could buy it at railcc shop but I don't know if we receive it before our department (We start from Warsaw on 29th July). The shipping time according to the shop is about 2-7 bussiness days, but does it relate to shipping to Poland, too?
I'm affraid that buying the reservation at the station on department day (department of Paris-Irun train) will not be able because the train will be fully booked.

Hi.
Which train you want to use on Berlin to Paris? The direct night train, then just read here how to book it (description bellow the map): [u]https://rail.cc/en/interrail-night-train/berlin-paris-cnl450/19[/u]
1) SNCF is NOT Interrailers friend. Buy it in Warsaw at the station for example.
2) You see the shipping details before you place the final order. Standard shipping to Poland is 2-7 business days, express is up to 3 business days. If you want to be fair, order your Interrail pass as well via railcc - as it is not okay to buy your Interrail pass at an other company, but ask here for free support. ;)

I'm sorry I've been actually writing about Paris - Irun train. This is what it's like when you write with your eyes half closed ;)
There are two main options as I know for the connection - night train, and direct daily TGV.
I think buying the seat reservation at a station in Warsaw may be hard because PKP (Polish National Railways) is not friend of anyone;)
So it is possible to receive the ticket and reservations in 2-7 bussiness days? I'm asking cause I don't trust post ;)

Hi.
The same for Paris to Irun. Try it in Warsaw - or then in Berlin central station. There you will definitely get it: [u]https://rail.cc/en/berlin/berlin-central-railway-station/l146[/u]
Otherwise use the express service if you don't trust the standard postal service. If you add the Rail Safeguard Plan Plus to your Interrail pass (protects against theft and lost), then express shipping is even for free.
But if you only want the reservation - try it at one of the stations.
