Taking your bike on trains within France...
You can officially take a bike with you semi-dismantled in a zip-up bike bag on any French train, including high-speed TGVs, free of charge. Dimensions should not exceed 120cm x 90cm. No separate bicycle reservation is necessary.
Most high-speed TGV trains in France don't take bikes unless they're packed in a bike bag. But there are exceptions: On most TGV trains from Paris or Lille to Avignon, Marseille, Cannes and Nice you can put your bike in the luggage van if you reserve a space in advance and pay a small fee (about 10 €).
Most overnight Lunéa trains within France take bicycles in a special bicycle compartment if you reserve space in advance and pay a small fee (about 10 €), while you sleep in a couchette or reclining seat. Lunéa routes include Paris to Lourdes, Cannes, Nice, Narbonne, Perpignan, Toulouse, and the Spanish frontier at Irun and Portbou.
Bikes are carried free of charge in the luggage van on most local, regional and non-TGV inter-city trains, but not during the Monday-Friday peak hours on Paris commuter routes.

Travel on TGV, TGV and ICE (between France and Germany) and Artésia (between Italy and France) trains
If dismantled and stored in a bike bag, your bike can travel as hand luggage.
