I love travelling by train. Each time I need to get to Aix-en-Provence I take the train. It’s easy. I hop on the bus in Cognin, walk to the train station, jump on a first train to Lyon. I change trains in Lyon to catch a TGV to the south. Sometimes, I’ll go as far as Marseille and back to Aix. Other times, I’ll stop in Aix-En-Provence TGV station. From there, I get to the town centre and walk to the seminary. Easy.
Today, the SNCF took me on a different route. Rather than going all the way back to Lyon town centre, the train dropped me at Lyon Airport TGV station. It is a spacious, open, modern building. It was purpose built for the TGVs. It avoids trains to go to the town centre, which would waste time.
I am now waiting for another train that will take me back to Chambéry. It is the 16:41 train from Paris to Milan. If I wanted I could go all teh way to Italy under the alps. I love travelling by train.
