I bought a ticket from Hendaye to St.Pierre des Cor on RailEurope web site for the TGV train. The back of the ticket states "no reservations of any kind are included in the cost of a point-to-point ticket"...additional fees for seat reservations are not included int the ticket price".
How do I make a reservation to guarantee my seat? The train is a day train for Sept. Thanks

Something isn't right here. It is customary for reservations to be included in the cost of p2p tickets on trains that require them (like TGVs). What is your travel date and departure time?

Hi Tim,
I bought my tickets off the Raileurope site, 2nd class for $45each. The travel date is Monday Sept. 8th leaving Hendaye at 11:22am, arriving at St Pierre Des Cor at 16:19 on the TGV train. We change trains here to take a 20 min. train to Amboise. The tickets are non-refundable. It says on the rules and reg. packet that Premier Train tickets are inclusive tickets combining the cost of the ticket and the mandatory reservation and are issued in one document. But the ticket does have seat numbers. I am confused. Oh......oops, after looking at my receipt more closely, it does say 1 Adult Premier Train..I guess the ticket does count as a voucher. Sorry to have wasted your time!!! Boy, do I feel stupid.

Hi, Amy. I'm glad you solved your problem. Just in case you're not aware of it, you'll be on a regional train from St-Pierre-des-Corps to Amboise. No reservations are possible on regional trains. Just jump on and find a seat.
