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...

Annexe station of Menton-Garavan, Porte de France, 500 m from the Italian border.

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.

Most of the large trains that carry out the Marseille-Nice route stop in Antibes in both directions. The TER provides more than 80 shuttles every day across the coast. During the summer period, when the road network is very crowded, it is sometimes interesting to go to Nice by train.

The Nice region has a very dense bus network, which allows you to reach all the towns and villages of the hinterland. Information, rates, ticketing and luggage deposit.

Located south of the city, the Grasse train station was put into service in 1871, then closed in 1938. Re-established since 2005, the station, located on the SNCF Grasse-Cannes line, is a great success. The traffic includes about ten connections per day in each direction, from 5:30 am to 11 pm. Most trains continue to Nice or come from Nice via Cannes. In the station, you will find a ticket office, open every day, and automatic machines for buying tickets. The Funix bus network completes the transport offer.

One of the easiest and most ecological ways to get to the Côte d'Azur from the main French cities is by TGV (Train à Grande Vitesse owned by the SNCF company). Currently, three cities are served by the TGV in the Alpes-Maritimes: Cannes, Antibes and Nice. Thus, their city centre is less than 6 hours from the heart of Paris, 4.5 hours from Montpellier, 4 hours from Lyon, 3 hours from Avignon and 2.5 hours from Marseille. Renovation work is underway to reduce these travel times.

Menton is connected to all the cities of the Italian Riviera and Riviera by many TER.

Served by nearly 230 TER trains, more than 100 TGVs and nearly 20 InterCités every day, the station is located in the heart of the city, just a few minutes walk from La Canebière. It welcomes you with comfort, whether in the main hall or in the wing leading to the bus station with its shops and restaurants. Numerous terminals are available for your tickets. Impeccable service and welcome. You can also find the cheap Ouigo lines to Paris or Lyon.

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

It is certainly not the biggest train station in France, nor the most central (a bit far from the city center) but it is the one that will allow you to reach many exceptional sites in the Hautes-Alpes.
