Trains
The French National Railroads'
(Société Nationale des Chemins de Fer or SNCF)
network of inter-city rail links provides frequent express and high-speed
train service known as the TGV or "Train à Grande Vitesse". The price of
train travel in France depends on whether you choose first or second class,
as well as on the time and date of travel.
Annecy, Avignon and Marseilles are linked by the high speed train to some major
airports, as well as many other cities in France. The high-speed train
from Paris to Annecy takes approximately 3 hours and 45 minutes, with many convenient times
and is relatively inexpensive with a fare of 62 Euros. Going back from Marseilles to Paris will
only take you 3 hours with a fare of 73 Euros.

train travel arrangements within France, we will be happy to assist you,
