The bus station in Toulon is right next to the train station. This is always a welcome arrangement…read more Lots of local and regional buses depart from here as well as long range and international buses at the far end (Flixbus and IsiLines to Marseilles, Paris and further afield. The shaded waiting areas have very short benches for one, two or maybe three people. I'm not sure who designed them or why they hate people sitting? Toulon's central square is a couppe blocks down the hill and the port and market area a bit further. There are cafes, bars, banks, and a Utile pretty nearby for provisions, sustenance, and boulangerie / patiserrie / boissons. The bathroom in the train station costs .50 Euros. Nous allons!!!

This is an especially good suggestion for people that do not speak the language. After asking and stopping by 3 full service ticket booths, we finally found ours, Inoui! We were also willing to pay more for reserved seats. So while all the other ticket counters had lines out the door, we were the only customers here and received FULL service. Easy to buy our tickets, ask and get educated about their train system, etc. See you all in Nice, France. :) Ambiance - It is a major public train station, so come early if you are not experienced. Crazy busy as expected. Pay to use toilets - 1 Euro. Several floors. There are actually good views of the city from some parts of the station. Service - Overall good. The best service was our train station, Inoui. Price - 45 Euros per person to Nice. $53 USD. Owner Comment - Thanks for having affordable and smooth transportation with Inoui to Nice.

We have to come here to catch our train but this train station is nothing like I have seen before…read more UPDATE - workers on strike Everywhere you look there is garbage spilling over, surrounded by trash. It is very unhealthy and unsanitary. Quite disgusting.

OK... I have to out myself here! We didn't actually ride the Train Vapeur de Pignes. In this…read morecase, we decided to exercise the cheaper (and more adventurous) tack of train-chasing the Train de Pignes. Starting with a bit of lolly-gagging around station in Puget-Théniers while paying customers boarded the train, then racing up the road toward Entrevaux and Annot in hopes of a few photo-ops of all the huffing and puffing! Amazing! These rails are actually a commuter line that runs from Nice up to the city of Digne-les-Bains, which by the way, would be worth the trip just to ride up this scenic route in the daily diesel powered rail-cars. But on Sundays in the summertime, they fire up this old steam locomotive (apparently built in the 20s in Cassel, Germany) and make the twenty-kilometer run from Puget-Théniers to Annot - Maybe not the best part of the run, but a very good part of the run. We had just done a steam train ride in Provence a few days before, so we didn't have the compunction to buy a ticket to ride on this one. But had we done so, we would have missed out on the chance to photograph the 'little-engine-that-does.' I'm sure it's a great view from the train, and I suspect we'll buy a ticket and ride it one day, but just seeing that living, breathing locomotive pull the train up this gorge is one of life's richest moments. Ride it. Chase it. Photograph it. But only on Sundays! Worth planning your holiday around this! And much safer than the Running of the Bulls in Pamplona!

This station is on the small side making it very manageable. It is a bit vintage but well…read moremaintained. The access from the road is limited but adequate. My experience was that it was not crowded and therefore low stress. The convenience in my case was the fact that this was an efficient stop on my southbound train ride to grab a taxi to the Marseille Airport.
