Hi. I was trying to make a reservation of the ticket from Nice to Milan by using my eurail pass at the Nice Ville train station.
First question, is it possible to make a reservation directly at the station? I could not find the other ticket office except SNCF.
Second, if it is not possible, how can I make a reservation?
Your prompt response will be highly appreciated and requested.
Thank you.

Hi and welcome.
There is no need to use the direct Thello Eurocity train due to its high reservation fees for Eurail: [u]https://rail.cc/en/eurail-train-reservation/thello/289[/u]

Hi and welcome to railcc!
The Thello ticket office is located on the far left (if you stand in front of the station) of the station building of Nice Ville; directly on Rue Thiers. You can buy the ticket there or online as explained here: [ux]https://www.thello.com/en/interrail-and-eurail-pass/[/ux]
As already mentioned, the ticket is quite expensive; please note that for travel with Thello you only get a reduction (about 25% on full fare). This means that you do not have to use a travel day of your Eurail pass.
Also, it can be cheaper to travel by regional "TER" train from Nice to the Italian border at Venitmiglia and then travel either with Italian regional trains or with an Intercity/IC service via Genova to Milan (same route as Thello, but can be used with your Eurail pass without a seat reservation).
