Eurail Ticket Problems

Just a short note. Lats Couple of days have involved climbing Notre Dame, mass in a Funky basillica (long story and stumbled into this one by mistake), and today went out to Versailles (stupidly massive palace used by French kings just outside of Paris).

Anyhow a few issues with my Eurail Ticket. I bought this pass before I left Australia for 10 days travel in 2 months on the trains in about 17 different European countries. It mentioned that there may be a reservation fee, which I thought might be like a booking fee of say 10%. I went to book a ticket from Paris to Madrid and this reservation fee is about 100% (€59). I can't get any sense out of anyone and this just seems to be stupid (to phase it nicely).
