Transportation btwn Nice Airport and Cassis

Can anyone tell me how I get from Nice Airport to Cassis via train; AND how long does it take (approx). Is it nec. to chg trains in Marseilles?

You will need to make a couple of changes if you want to go from the airport.

Find your way a half km on foot to Nice St Augustin station, and pick up the stopping service about six stops to Antibes. At Antibes switch to a faster service direction Marseilles but get off before, at Toulon and once more switch to a stopping all stations service to Cassis

Should take around three hours as long as you are in reasonable daytime schedules and nothing goes wrong with your connections

Cheers

Thanks NiceLife. Not being familiar with Nice, would I get better connections from another train station? Or is St. Augustin the only train station in Nice? I%26#39;ve been debating whether or not to overnight in Nice -after arriving on a flight from the US or press on to Cassis. If the only way to get to Cassis is with 2-3 connections, I guess I%26#39;d be better off overnighting in Nice and getting a fresh start the next day.

If you spent the night in Nice you could take a train from the main station, Nice Ville, direct to Toulon. You would still have to change there. The time from Nice Ville should be around 2.5 hours. Incidentally at some times of the day it would actually be quicker to take a train from Nice St. Augustin to Nice Ville and then change to a train to Toulon. If you did decide to travel to Cassis on the day you arrive it might be just as easy to take the bus from the airport to the main station and then travel to Cassis from there.

Excellent well said, NiceLife!

Was it a bad day Andrew? Now I suggest a large glass of wine or 3 weeks away from the board in South America LOL

Thanks IrishRover. Your info was most helpful - without getting into specifics. I fly standby, so I need to remain flexible.

I upped the medication, Judy, and somehow everything seemed calm once again. It was a rather good Cabernet Sauv.
