Marseille Are there good, economical restaurants around Gare St. Charles?
Posted: Sat November 7, 2009 01:32 PM UTC
We are staying near the train station for a couple of nights in December. I prefer inexpensive, local restaurants where the locals go for working lunch or dinner. Could you recommend some restaurants around the train station? Also I would like to have cous cous with lamb or seafood which I tried in Mazara del Vallo in Sicily if there is a nearby restaurant.

Also where is the drop off at the train station from the airport shuttle? I am trying to plan my walk from the train station to the hotel using Google Maps.

Thank you for taking the time to help me.

Nice Driving to St Tropez
Posted: Fri November 6, 2009 03:47 AM UTC
Since it is off season, is it easiest to rent a car in Nice and drive to St Tropez, as opposed to taking the boat and a bus or train?

Aix-en-Provence Sunday Bus from Marsailles to Aix
Posted: Thu October 29, 2009 12:55 PM UTC
Our cruise will stop in Marsailles on Sunday, November 29, and we'd like to take a bus to Aix and back for the day. I'm having trouble finding a bus schedule in English, since my French is very basic. It seems that a bus is the best idea, but maybe the train is better on Sunday. Can anyone help?

Hello,
We will visiting Cannes On November 1, 2009 via cruiseline.
Are most of the sights closed due to All Saints Day?
Can you recommend sights to visit and transportation options (bus) for that day?
Would Grasse and Gourdon be a reasonable trip from Port of Cannes?
Thank you

Nice Daytrips by Bus and Train, From Nice
Posted: Sun October 11, 2009 08:04 PM UTC
Hi there,

I will be staying in Nice and will have 12 full days to explore and enjoy the city and the surrounding area. If my itinerary of towns to visit seems a bit ambitious, keep in mind that I am a professional photographer (with a focus on travel images) and am there as much to work as to play.

My question to you all is this: Can each of the following towns be reached by bus or train (from Nice)? I will not be renting a car.

I have consulted the Ligne d'Azur PDF of bus routes, but found it difficult to navigate and couldn't quite figure out if certain buses stopped at some of my towns of interest along the route to their final destination. If I could see more than one town in the same day, that would be good to know (and likely to do).

Gourdon

Antibes (Bus 200 from Nice Gare Routiere)

Biot

Grasse (Bus 500 from Nice Gare Routiere)

St. Paul de Vence (Bus 400 from Nice Gare Routiere)

Vence (Bus 400 from Nice Gare Routiere)

St. Tropez

Gassin

Grimaud

Ramatuelle

Bormes-les-Mimosas

Cassis

Roquebrune-Cap-Martin (Bus 113 from Menton)

Gorbio

La Turbie (Bus 116 from Nice Gare Routiere)

Menton (Bus 100 from Nice Gare Routiere)

Monaco (Bus 100 from NIce Gare Routiere)

Peillon

Saorge (Bus 905 from Menton or Tende)

Sospel

Villefrance-sur-Mer

Tende (Bus 905 from Menton or Saorge)

Eze (Bus 112 from NIce Gare Routiere)

Peille (Bus 116 from Nice Gare Routiere)

Sainte-Agnes

Coaraze (Bus 303 from Nice Gare Routiere)

Ventimiglia

Dolceacqua

Apricale

Roccetta

Any bus numbers/advice, train info/advice you can share would be immensely helpful. Advance merci!

Marseille Train to Paris
Posted: Thu September 24, 2009 04:55 PM UTC
Back in 2006, I wanted to go from Marseille back to Paris. However, the TGV was fully booked through the rest of the weekend, and so I took the classic train back. It was about a 10 hour trip and at some point, the train passed through some mountains. I never knew what route we took and what cities we passed through. Would anyone have any idea about what route that was? Unfortunately, I do not remember any of the cities, but we went west through the mountains. Thanks!

Aix-en-Provence Train to Aix
Posted: Sun August 30, 2009 02:58 AM UTC
I will be in Lyon for a few days and after that to Aix. Is it better to take a train to Marseille and change to bus to arrive in Aix town as my hotel is near the bus station. Or TGV direct to Aix, but have to go to TGV station and then transfer probably by bus to Aix town. Which is the most convenient having a big luggage.

Thanks.

Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur How much can we see in a week?!
Posted: Sun August 23, 2009 01:40 PM UTC
We've booked flights in and out of Nice in September and would love some suggestions on how to see as much as possible of the area in a week. Neither of us have been there before and enjoy seeing the real country, people and food, rather than tourists!

My Mum has spent her life wanting to horseride in the Camargue so please could someone recommend where we can book half/full-day rides. We also want to visit Monte Carlo, Aix-en-Provence, Gorges du Verdon and possibly the Luberon and Châteauneuf-du-Pape, if we're not too pushed for time!

We'd really appreciate and advice, suggested routes etc. Also, is hiring a car the best way to travel? I've heard the coastal roads can be one long traffic jam!

Nice breakfast in nice
Posted: Sun August 9, 2009 04:06 PM UTC
I love this forum, so useful.

I have been quoted a price of £10 per person for breakfast at the hotel I'm staying at.

I wanted to know the average price for breakfast in cafe's in Nice. I imagine it varies greatly but for cafes in the areas of Rue Marechal Joffre I wondered if there were any budget traveller priced cafes to eat breakfast.

Thanks.
