I'm planning a journey to and from Stuttgart in November, all will be doing the full trip by train from Portugal.
Regarding the connection between Spain and France, I will do the cross-border journey with Renfe on AVE 9737 to Perpignan, Montpellier or Lyon.
Although I have the domestic TGV 6204 between Montpellier and Paris, it arrives less than an hour before the departure of the ICE 9579 to Suttgart on a different terminus station.
My question here is: There is an earlier connection to Paris that also departs from Barcelona, TGV 9708. If I take that train within France, will I be acquiring a domestic TGV reservation, or will it still be considered an international journey?
If given the choice, I would rather avoid having to pay the hefty FIP Global Fare.
