There is a luggage carriage on the TGV, and you can book it, but there is no guarantee your bike will be on the same train as you apparently ! Bagged bikes are fine, just stay with your bike until everyone is on, and stay with it when the train is pulling into a station.
When I went to Avignon last year, there was only one stop at Lyon, I watche din horro as a small frenchwoman pulled down a big heavy bag right on top of my bike, luckily no damage.....
If you speak Franch it's also possible to bribe the guard to put your bike in the luggage carriage....
