Société Nationale des Chemins de fer Français (SNCF) (tel: 0892 353 535 or 3635 from within France; www.sncf.fr) is the national rail carrier. Generally, trains are on time but beware of strikes. As throughout France, train tickets must be validated prior to boarding.
Rail services: The recent extension of the TGV line brought Aix within under 3 hours of Paris, from where services connect to Lille, Nantes, Rouen, Brussels and Geneva, as well as London with the Eurostar (tel: 08705 186 186 in the UK; www.eurostar.com) (journey time - 8 hours).
The Aix-en-Provence TGV station is about 13km (8 miles) west of the city. Shuttle buses (navettes) provide direct links to the city centre. There are also other buses, taxis and easy access to the A8 motorway. The new and very modern station has shops, cafes and restaurants, and several car rental agencies.
There is also a train station in the city centre, rue Gustave Desplaces, for local and national services.
