Marseille to Nice: By Car or Train?
Hello Fodors Friends,
We are leaving for Provence in about a week! We will be in Avignon, St Remy and the Luberon area and will spend our last three days in Nice.
We will be renting a car for the first part of the trip, and I am wondering about getting to Nice. Should we keep our car and drop to at the TGV Station or airport, or should we drop the car in Marseille and travel by train to Nice?
We think that we will not need a car in Nice as there is no parking at our airbnb and we can walk or take transit most places.
Your advice is much appreciated. We will be celebrating our daughters wedding and our 35th anniversary!
Thanks so much,
Randa

I'd go with the train unless you have time to spend stopping along the way.
Side note, are you aware that many of the properties listed on Airbnb are illegal rentals? Airbnb does not screen listings and that means it is your responsibility to insure that the property you are renting is a legal rental.
