Train from Paris to Tours

My wife and I plan to travel by train from Paris to Tours on March 16 this year and wonder what advice we could use and do we need a reservation in addition to purchasing tickets.

If you catch the TGV your seat reservation is part of the ticket. The same goes for the intercity via Orleans. There are occasionally tickets sold for trains via Orleans which involve a change and for some of those you dont need a reservation - they are regional trains.

There are a couple of direct trains to Tours central if you catch the TGV but you get more options if youre prepared to change at Saint Pierre des Corps, which is a couple of miles from Tours Central.
