Same Railstation - Tours Center vs. St. Pierre des Corps??
I booked a TGV ticket from Tours Centre to Paris Montparnasse. My car rental drop-off address listed on my Kemwel voucher is:
Tours Railstation - IKC North 2 Place de la Gare St. Pierre des Corps Are these two different railstations? If so, can I just hop on a train from St. Pierre des Corps to get to Tours Centre? Thanks in advance. |
They are separate stations.
St Pierre des Corps is on the main line from Paris to Bordeaux. It's in a suburb east of Tours. Tours station is in the centre of the city, on a branch line. Some TGVs go from Tours to Paris and stop to pick up passengers at St Pierre des Corps five minutes later. In other cases, you get a local connecting train from Tours to St Pierre des Corps then change to a TGV for Paris. If you have a ticket from Tours to Paris but want to start from St Pierre des Corps, then join the train at St Pierre des Corps five minutes after it leaves Tours. |
In the past I have ridden a Tours Centre TGV that did <b>not</b> stop at St Pierre des Corps so if you decide to drop off at St Pierre des Corps and wait for your train, make sure there is a scheduled stop there. I would ask at the station to confirm before I assumed.

Have Kemwel change the drop-off to Tours Center. The St Pierre des Corps station is a little hard to find.

All the trains from Tours to Paris stop at St Pierre des Corps to pick up passengers.

Thank you everyone. I will call Kemwel to change the drop-off to Tours to be on the safe side!

Update - Just called Kemwel and they said the other europcar location aside from the airport and St. P.d.c is on avenue Maginot. I told them google map is showing a europcar on Rue Bernard Palissy (which looks very close to Tours Center Gare) but this location doesn't show up on their system. His explanation was that this could be a franchise store and they don't do rentals out of franchise locations.
So it looks like i'm stuck with returning the car to St. PDC. I will check with the railstation to make sure my train stops there to pick up passengers. Thanks everyone for their input. |
