Changing trains at Les Abrais

Planning on taking train from Amboise to Les Aubrais then another train to Toulouse. Is 15 minutes enough time to connect at Les Aubrais ? Other possibility is train to Orlean then (taxi ?) to Les Aubrais and a 30 + minute wait.

Les Aubrais is my home station in France - it is small - just 4 active platforms - you do have to traipse up and down stairs perhaps if your train is not on an adjacent platform.

If you end up in Orleans there are shuttle trains (navettes) that run to Aubrais before any train leaving from there.

Q - why are you going to Les Aubrais to get to Toulouse - it is more than three hours quicker to go Amboise - St-Pierre-des-Corps to Toulouse - why take this much slower route?

You can get some good discounted fares at www.voyages-sncf.com for the St-Pierre-des-Corps to Toulouse TGVs.
