Reservations on TGV when delays require a different train?
I have a reservation for a TGV train that I won't be able to make due to major delays on the DeutscheBahn. I was given a new suggested itinerary by a gate agent, but she did not make an actual change to my ticket or reservations. It involved being on the subsequent TGV.
The TGV as I understand it requires reservations, so I am wondering if this will cause a problem? I also don't want to end up not having a space on the train or a seat as I have two young kids and an airplane to catch from Paris tomorrow.
If it will cause a problem, how can I get a reservation for a seat? The DB agent said she could not arrange it but told me it would not be a problem, but I don't know that I believe her. Unfortunately I have very short changeover times from here on out.

Don't worry, whenever in France you cannot catch up with your TGV or TER, use SNCF App on iPhone or other phones, find when is next TGV/TER to your destination, get on it, find a seat, and rest until conductors come to you. They know all about delayed/cancelled trains and will not bother you at all but will even help.
