I'm looking to book train tickets between Barcelona and Toulouse for 5 people: two 30 year olds, two 60+, and one 25 year old. It seems like the best way to do that is to go from Barcelona to Narbonne then Narbonne to Toulouse. For the Narbonne to Toulouse train, every booking platform I've tried so far (Rail Europe, Omio, SNCF) has auto-selected a TER group ticket called "AvantagiO Tribu avec enfant" which seems to have the condition that one member of the group is aged 4-18 years old. It seems like the 25 year old in our group is being considered a "youth" and then categorized as fitting the 4-18 condition. Does anyone have any experience with this group ticket? Does the 25 year old actually meet the requirements for this ticket, or is this just an issue with the booking platforms and the actual train wouldn't accept this ticket for our group?

Yes, that's right. I checked on the liO website, which is the SNCF's Southwest regional branch.
You're entitled to a 30% discount if the group of 3 to 5 travelers include at least one young person aged 4 to under 18 on the day of travel.

Try the SNCF website, which has an English version.
