Getting There By Rail The Société Nationale des Chemins de Fer Français – SNCF (tel: (08) 9235 3535; website: www.sncf.com) is the national railway service. The main train station, located at 20 place de la Gare (tel: (03) 8875 4120), is France’s sixth largest railway station. There is a post office located nearby at 18 place de la Gare, and car hire services from Avis, Budget, Europcar and Hertz are available at or near the station. Rail services: There are good links to many European cities, such as Frankfurt (journey time – 2 hours 50 minutes), Brussels (journey time – 5 hours) and London (journey time – 6 hours), as well as direct links to France’s major cities, including Paris (journey time – 4 hours), Bordeaux (journey time – 7 hours) and Marseille (journey time – 9 hours).
