You can optionally book a ticket at child fare if you want a reserved seat for your baby on Thalys, Eurostar and TGV (recommended if you want to benefit from the Forfait Bambin on TGV INOUI). Reserving a seat is compulsory for journeys operated by long distance buses. Children under 4 years old travel for free and don't need a ticket if they don't require a reserved seat.
