Paris to Interlaken ost TGV train help

Jean , bookings for TGV are 90-92 days before date of travel . I think the problem you have with making a " dummy " booking is that February is at the height of winter sports season and there is a lot of traffic to and from Interlaken as it is the stepping off point to the Berner Oberland and the myriad destinations there i.e. Grindelwald , Lauterbrunnen , Wengen , Murren , etc. Try a fake booking in , say May , and try doing it on DB bahn . You'll probably be able to see schedules, but you won't be able to buy tickets there . For a great overview of general information on European trains , see " The Man in Seat 61 " website . Happy Travels!

There's a far simpler answer as to why it would only let you book the 1757 on whatever website you were using. Reason: there is only one direct TGV to Interlaken Ost, and it is that one. If you had been willing to change on the way to another train you could have found many connection every day that make that run. Look at the Bahn schedules as they are easiest to follow, then use the French website (don't let it push you over to RailEurope by not telling it that you are from New Hampshire - say you are from the UK) to look for good fares or use the Swiss trains website to get good ones there. For all the other ones, depending if you take the train from Gare de l'Est or Gare de Lyon you will need to change in Strasbourg, and / or Basel, and maybe Spiez.
