History

After the SNCF had decided to set up a TGV trains stop for the city of Aix -en- Provence, the new line was built further east than originally planned. By and by bus lines have been established which connect the station to the surrounding cities. Nevertheless, because most passengers are traveling by car, parking is often crowded. Therefore, another underground parking lot was built in 2009, a total of 2910 courses are now available, but there are still regular 900 cars outside the parking.

Operation

The station is served by 120 trains per day. There are train connections to Paris, Marseille, Nice, Ventimiglia, Toulon, Strasbourg, Toulouse, Lille-Europe, Rennes, Nantes and Dijon. Since March 2012 there is a TGV train pair that connects the station to Frankfurt am Main in 7:31 hours.
