Problem with getting trains to Barcelona!

I looked through the rest of the forums and cannot find this answer. I am booking that train from Paris ro Figueres Vilafont to Barcelona. But as I said, the 10 day restriction will not let me book that last leg. Can I get a regional train out of F. Vilafant or do I need to find a way to Figueres itself? Yes, I am leaving soon: June 25. If anyone has an idea, I would be so thankful.

There's another train at 14:07 that gets to Barcelona at 21:45. The fare for that one is 135.70€.

Are you using www.tgv-europe.com? You should be able to book all the way to Barcelona. There is no need to break the journey in two (Paris to Figueres and Figueres to Barcelona).

but on Voyagessncf under conditions of that train, it says must be booked 10 days in advance? That is why I thought I could not book the trip and would need to break it up! Am I reading that condition wrong? If I am not it is time to book. Please check it out.

"it says must be booked 10 days in advance?"
I see nothing of that kind. It says that it is refundable minus 10%, that's all.

It doesn't say anything remotely like you have to book 10 days in advance, in fact, it wouldn't even show you a fare if you weren't allowed to book it, obviously. Even if you don't know French at all, I don't know how you could turn "10%" into 10 days or make up the whole part about not being able to book it before that many days. Even without French knowledge, that phrase should be understandable to someone who knows English.

Is this the phrase: <<Billet échangeable et remboursable avec une retenue de 10% avant le départ. Non échangeable et non remboursable après départ>>
