Do you have to validate train ticket France?

On most TGV routes it is required that you validate your ticket, prior to travel by placing your ticket in the grey mouth-like slot near the bottom of the machine. It allows you to insert one end of the ticket (length wise), use the left end of the ticket, where there is usually a bar code and an SNCF logo.
