The location of this station on the Paris-Lyon-Miramas line is very interesting for travellers who wish to visit the nearby city centre with its pleasant lanes and beautiful houses steeped in history. Built in the 19th century, it is an integral part of the city's heritage. However, its attractions end there. The ticket offices are frequently closed due to a lack of staff, and the infrastructure is basic; the shop is only open in high season. At the same time, we only go there to take the train...

Designed by architects Jean-Marie Duthilleul and Etienne Tricaud and built on the Arbois plateau, the station is within easy reach of Aix-en-Provence city center (13 km) and Marseille-Provence airport (11 km). The simplest and most economical solution is to take the shuttle that links the TGV station to the Aix bus station. Once on the train, you'll reach the capital in around 3 hours. A fast and privileged link to Paris.

Launched in April 2013, this low-cost SNCF service from Marseilles allows passengers to reach central Paris, Lyons or Lille for just a few euros. Prices remain low even as you approach your travel date, but it's best to start early so you don't miss out on the best prices. The service is serious, the trains are new and clean. It will be ideal to go to Disneyland as well since there is a direct line to Marne-la-Vallée. Please be sure to arrive 30 minutes before your departure, having printed your tickets. The baggage allowance is subject to certain restrictions, which can be consulted on the website. But for the price, who can complain?

This small, historic local train station is located on a convenient public transport hub. The M1 underground line and the two tram lines T1 and T2 serve it from the city centre. A good plan to avoid the hustle and bustle of the Gare Saint-Charles when you want to take the train to the east. Travellers wishing to go to Aubagne, Toulon or Nice can use the various TER trains stopping on one of the 5 tracks. Relaxed atmosphere and country atmosphere. PRM access and no crowds. The Blancarde train station is also a good tip in the summer to get to the beach, whether in Cassis, La Ciotat or Bandol, avoiding the car

Since 2018, all regional transport has been brought together under a single name: Zou! So we no longer speak of TER or LER, or Cartreize and Varlib buses. From now on, the Zou! logo will adorn the fleet of buses and the many trains that criss-cross the Provence region. Dozens of connections between the main towns, with stops in the secondary towns. The territory is well criss-crossed. The buses will allow you to reach places not served by trains. Very attractive prices.
