Booking TGV using railpasses
I am after some advice on booking costs and deadlines for the TGV between Paris and Avignon.
My partner and I have purchased a France and Italy Railpass to use in April/May of this year whilst we are on our honeymoon. These passes can be used on the national railways of both countries, but you are required to pay a supplement to travel on fast trains and o/night trains.
My agent in Australia indicted that it would cost us A$65 to reserve a seat on the TGV (about US$50). Does anyone have any experience at booking the seat once they are in France? Would be interested to know how far you needed to book ahead, costs, etc.
