Sue and I get into Paris at 830am on 7/29. Haven't decided when to take the train down yet, altho most possibly early afternoon. I am looking forward to the relaxing train ride down thru the French countryside!

We are flying into Paris @ 11:00 on the 29th. I am curious as to how long it will take to go through customs and actually get to the train station. I have heard that customs can be a nightmare and I don't want to book the train to Marseille too early. Any suggestions?

We're heading to Marseille on July 29 on the 12:27 pm train that gets us in at 3:54 pm. We're staying at Hotel Residence HenriIV in Paris on a recommendation from a friend who really knows Paris.

I just booked train tickets from Paris to Marseille. It cost $126 for 2 tickets plus a $8 booking fee and $21.90 for trip insurance (lost or stolen ticket, refund for strike). I also found out that it is about $6-$7 for a cab ride from the train station (Gare St. Charles) to the Olivia hotel, Hotel Radison Blu. Go to RailEurope.com to make reservations. We chose the "comfort" level ticket. Our friend who travels in France regularly says food is extremely expensive on the train. She recommends you pack a lunch for the trip. Yum, some good french bread & cheese sounds good! The trip takes slightly over three hours. Hopes this helps.

I just booked the train from Paris to Marseilles on the RailEurope web site. It was very easy to do and the fares are pretty reasonable.

If you are trying to search for dates in July, it's too soon to see the schedule. If you search for a date sooner, say March, it will show you the train does go to Marseille. I don't think the schedules are available until 60 days in advance. Hope this helps!

We have researched and you can purchase train tickets from Paris to Marseille from www.raileurope.com. It recommends purchasing before you leave the US. It's approximately a 3 hour trip and you can purchase tickets 60 to 180 days in advance. The web site is very informative, i recommend people check it out.

Well it has been over 15 yrs since I last took that train, but it is something I was thinking about doing. At least it is a decent option.
