Cost of TGV reservation?

Hi, i'm currently holding a eurailpass and will be making a trip from paris to bruges tmr.

I checked on bahn.de website and there are two options:
1) Paris Nord to Brussels (Thalys)
Brussels to Bruges

2) Paris Nord to Lille (TGV)
Lille to Bruges

I have previously took Thalys to Brussels before and the supplement for 2nd class cost 11 euros. Can i check with you guys if the TGV supplement i have to pay from paris to lille is only 3 euros and that its free with the pass to travel from Lille to Bruges? Coz the travelling time for both options is about the same.

Thanks lots in advance!!

Yes you are correct. 3 euros in French TGVs (or any train reservation in France) and just hop on the Lille-Bruges train. Yes just as quick so why hassle with Thalys?

It isn't really a supplement, it's a reservation fee. I was a little confused about what you are asking, because some countries do charge supplements for certain trains when you have a railpass, for example, and it is not just a reservation fee.
