Using Eurorail to buy a flexible ticket in France?

Using Eurorail to buy a flexible ticket in France? - Content couple using ticket machine in underground

I am currently travelling around France and having a good time.

I have a Eurail pass for eight journeys in France. I have used one of those journey from Paris to Rennes.

I was wondering is it possible for me to get a ticket e.g. from Rennes to Bordeaux which allows me to stay a night in La Rochelle and then continue my journey the next day to Bordeaux?

This would not be using the TGV line but the normal train lines in France. I checked the SNCF and Eurail pass site for information but I cannot find anything.

Does anyone know if this is possible?

Extra points for providing information on how to get this at the ticket kiosk and more points for someone who can tell me how to ask for it in French.

Can Eurail passes be purchased in Europe?

You can also purchase Eurail Passes at train stations in Europe, but that's more expensive than ordering them online in advance.

Do you need to book train tickets in advance in France?

Any segments that use an Intercities train, may need booking in advance (some don't, but it's best if you do book to get cheaper fares and to guarantee a seat). Any segments that use a regional train (called TER in France) don't need advance booking, and can be purchased on the day.

What does flexible mean on train tickets?

They are almost always bound to the specific departure time that you book. The term "flexible" refers to the fare type and the fees charged by the rail operator if you want to exchange or refund your tickets, not your ability to travel on an earlier or later train.
