DB bahn.bonus International Train Award Question

Hi everyone,

I usually redeem first-class upgrades with my spare DB bahn.bonus points (Frequent Traveller Program of DB BAHN), but now that I have my DB BahnCard MasterCard I have excess points, which I would like to use for an international train award.

This is my problem: For the award '4.000 Punkte: Freifahrt international 1. Klasse - nach Verfügbarkeit, Hin- und Rückfahrt -' (international roundtrip first class) I get contradicting information from the bahn.comfort hotline and at the ticket counter. My questions is: Can I use this award to go from any DB station in Germany to any SNCF station in France? Actual routing would be WUERZBURG > CAEN (via Frankfurt/Paris with ICE or TGV) or is this award only good to go to Paris only?

Anybody here who has an idea or who used this award before?

Many thanks for your input.
