Arles Travel Forum

New travelers that need some info. We are trying to go from Arles to Aix-en-Provence without going thru Marseille by train. Any bus service between Arles and Aix and how often does it run?

http://www.beyond.fr/travel/bus01.html might help?

There are buses between Arles and Avignon then Avignon and Aix-en-Provence (nothing direct I can find) here

Hope that helps.

There is a limited schedule for direct buses here

YOu will find the itinerary, schedule and prices on this page:
http://www.infotelo.com/horaires_ligne/index.asp?rub_code=6&thm_id=16&lign_id=227
The first pdf on that page is the schedule during schoolyear (période scolaire)

If you inquire while overthere, refer to "cartreize" it's the name of the bus network with the département 13 called Bouches du Rhône which Aix en Provence is part of.
