Hallo!

I’m planning to travel to Germany and France in May. Initially, I bought a Eurail pass, but after booking fees, it looks like I could save more by booking directly with Deutsche Bahn and TGV. My pass is refundable, so that’s not an issue. However, I’ve never been on a train trip in Europe before, and I’m anxious about encountering any problems. Also, when I attempted to book a train from Paris to Caen through Eurail, it wouldn’t allow me, despite TGV’s website showing ample availability. How should I proceed with this?

Any and all advice is appreciated! Thank you!
