High-speed train service now connects Paris and Marseille, offering a 3-hour 20-minute journey, with tickets starting at 23 euros. Italian railway company Trenitalia launched the new service on June 15, 2025, covering the 750-kilometer distance. The trains will run between Paris's Gare de Lyon and Marseille's Saint-Charles station, with stops in Lyon, Avignon, and Aix-en-Provence. This new route provides a faster alternative to driving and competes with France's national railway, potentially leading to lower fares. Trenitalia also plans to launch new routes to Lyon and Milan soon.
