From Saint-Charles to the north of the Aix area
For Venelles, Saint-Charles is not always the nearest station: if your TGV stops at Aix TGV, the trip will be shorter. But for the many trains that only arrive in Marseille, a private driver avoids the connection via Aix town centre.
The driver tracks your train and waits even if it is late.
Venelles, village and districts
Venelles grew around its old hilltop village, Venelles-le-Haut, of which the church and a few lanes around the old castle remain, with a viewpoint over the Durance valley and the Luberon. Newer districts run down to the plain and the business park, home to technology firms and laboratories, and wooded hills to the north, with trails towards the Puyricard plateau and the Sainte-Victoire, suit hiking and mountain biking.
Aix-en-Provence central station is about fifteen minutes away, but many TGVs do not stop there. For a Venelles resident returning from Paris via Saint-Charles, a private driver goes straight up the A51 with no change. Business visitors are met on the platform with a sign, dropped at the site reception and taken back to the station in the evening.
