How do I buy TGV tickets for my kids without the CARD CHILD PLUS ?

We (wife, 2 kids and I) plan to book from CDG to Avignon on the 30th
Nov. We were quoted 101.80 Euros with the above card. The cost of the
card is 38 Euro. I tried to look for the prices to travel with my kids
on TGV but was unable to get children prices. All the prices were
quoted stating with the discount from the card child plus. Since we
are only going to use the TGV once, getting the card is not useful
idea.

Some questions I have:

a) Is there a children fare without showing any cards or must I? My
kids are 6 & 7
b) Do we have to do reservation for the tickets bought over the
internet? The day of travel is a Sunday.
c) Is there any other family or group discount available? I can?t seem
to find any for families traveling together.
d) Is three hours sufficient to clear everything and board the train
at 10am
e) Are the car rental companies walk able distances from the TGV
station?

Thanks for the inputs

If you buy from SNCF your reservation is part of the ticket
c) Is there any other family or group discount available? I can?t seem

d) Is three hours sufficient to clear everything and board the train
at 10am It should be, if the plane isn't late (there will be another
train later and the reservation isn't that expensive.)
e) Are the car rental companies walk able distances from the TGV
station?

One I know, yes they are right in the station.

If you look under the box quoting the fare of 101.80, you will see "Other
Fares: Discovery Child Plus: 160.00 EUR." This is the lowest fare that
available without the Child Plus card. If you want that fare, just click on
it. By the way, this fare type in French is called Découverte Enfant Plus
and

I think all TGV tickets are for reserved seats.

c) Is there any other family or group discount available? I can?t seem
to find any for families traveling together.

at 10am

It should be barring any serious delays.

e) Are the car rental companies walk able distances from the TGV
station?

One other thing you might consider second class, it is how I usually
travel on TGV anymore.
