me and my friend took our bikes on a train when we were in france, there were around 4 bike places per train and we were advised to book places for them... we were told by the station manager that the TGV didnt take bikes, but there were places next to guards room on the front and we got them on... generally what we found was, there are places for normal or folding bikes they just dont really want you to have them for some reason.
if i went again id book trains in advance and get some one who speaks french to ring for me so that we got some bike reservations
