How long is the drive from St Tropez to Aix en Provence? Posted: Sat April 11, 2009 10:12 AM UTC
I am looking at International Schools for my grandson around the St Tropez area and cannot find any- he is 12. The only ones I can find are in Aix, and now I'm wondering how long the travel time would be each day? Is there a bus or train which would cut some travel time?
Any and all information is appreciated.
Many thanks

Car Rentals in Aix Posted: Fri August 1, 2008 07:42 PM UTC
Can anyone tell me where can i get the best deal and have the best chance of getting the small car I am looking for? I hear some rental agencies tend to run out of small cars and upgrade customers to larger vehicles that burn more gas.

A quiet location in Provence with a great view! Posted: Sat July 5, 2008 02:24 PM UTC
Has anyone experience of what we are looking for? A quiet, small gite, in or near a village - a fishing port would be nice - in the region of Provence?
I am an artist; partner likes to walk. Yes, we do sound boring but after a very busy year somewhere to relax, with a great view and a few pleasant places to eat are just what we want. We are aiming for late August, early September.
I have been so fortunate in the advice I have received on this site in past years - I am sure someone out there wil know just the place!

bus Marseille to Aix Sunday 4 May 2008 Posted: Sun April 13, 2008 12:17 AM UTC
This thread suggests that there is a bus every 10 minutes from the Gare Routiere in Marseille to Aix, that it takes about half an hour and costs 4,10 euros, but that was a post from 2002. Does anybody have uptodate information on this? I am trying to find out how long I must allow to get from Marseille (Cathedral) to Aix TGV station in order to catch a train from Aix at 18:45 on a Sunday.

Going to various places from Aix en Provence Posted: Sun September 2, 2007 04:44 AM UTC
Hi,
I have seen the comment that it is faster to travel to various places by bus from Aix.
Is it cheaper than TGV?
I am looking at staying at Aix for 5 days and making day trips to the following.
- Nice & St Tropez
- Luberon
- Arles
Do you think TGV is cheaper or bus is cheaper?
