I've been trying for over a week to reserve tickets on the TGV from Paris to Lyon for a date in June that is less than 3 months away, using the site listed in Rick Steve's France (tgv-europe.com). I can see the schedule, prices, etc., but every time I try to conclude the transaction I get a message that "a technical error has occured", and the transaction is canvelled. I could book through Rail Europe, but at more than double the prices listed on the tgv-europe site. It seems that this site does not work from Canada. Does anyone have a solution to this problem?

Since the TGV also connects Geneva Switzerland I used the Swiss Rail website to purchase our TGV tickets. www.sbb.ch/en - it worked flawlessly and my tickets are now printed and in my folder awaiting my flight to Geneva. I also tried the TGV website but experienced a couple of technical issues.
