Do I need to make reservations if I have a railpass?
Reservations are generally not mandatory, although they are recommended for busy times and routings. Reservations are required for some high-speed trains such as the TGV, sleeper trains, or, if you want a couchette during an overnight journey. Reservations can be made at any train station for just a few dollars or in the U.S. for an additional service fee. Couchettes and Sleeper compartments are extra.
