ok, i've done the searches, and i've read the guidebooks. now i'd like to hear from some people with experience on the nice to montpellier train route...<BR><BR>do i have a chance of making a 4:00 pm train out of nice, if my flight arrives at 3:30 (i'm only carrying-on)? how do i make my way from the airport to the train station (i'm going to montpellier)?<BR><BR>also, does anyone have any general comments about this route? should i book in advance for a monday late afternoon-evening train? connect through marseille or avignon? <BR><BR>thanks, in advance!

I suppose if you already have the tickets and traffic is light(weekday), you can probably make it. I can't remember what traffic was like at 3-4pm in the afternoon, but definitely more during the weekend. The train station is at the north end of the city center, a 10-15 min drive from the airport with light traffic. Took us 30-40 mins in heavy traffic though. Also took train from nice to mont and back, connecting via marseille. Ride wasn't all that scenic, but cheap. I think around $30 one way.

Hi<BR><BR>I'd say ...... book a later train.<BR>Even if the flight arrives on time, it always takes at least 15 mins to get through the airport without luggage.<BR>Add in time queueing for a taxi , some traffic, finding the right platform ?<BR><BR>Peter<BR>
