Railway station Côte d'Azur

This very modern station welcomes more than six million passengers a year. Check the exit closest to where you want to go, as this huge station serves six locations in the Principality. Don't hesitate to ask the police for advice if you have any doubts. For the record, Monaco had two train stations until 1964. The other station was destroyed to add building space.

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

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.

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.
