French Perl Workshop 2005 - Travel to Marseilles

How to travel to Marseilles

Marseilles is the second (or third depending upon the years)

by train, particularly the TGV, thanks to which Marseilles is only 3 hours from Paris
by plane, with regular domestic and international flights;
by road, with several major highways;
by boat, although it's more anecdotical and reserved for other mediterranean countries.

Because of the distance between the respective airports of Paris and Marseille, the most simple and resting travelling mean is the TGV, which is also quite cheap. Britains thus can take the Eurostar up to Paris, then take the TGV up to Marseilles.

How to travel inside and around Marseilles

Marseilles has a public transportation network, alas not as well developed as Paris' one. The network is managed by the RTM. Other bus lines link with the nearby cities of Aubagne and Cassis. Please consult Le Pilote for a detailed information about the transportation means within Marseilles and nearby cities.

Public means of transportation inside Marseilles

Marseilles has two lines of subway and more than seventy lines of bus during the day (from 6am to 9pm). Starting from 9pm is the night service, called Fluobus, composed of about ten lines of bus which stay active until midnight.
