Nice vs St. Tropez vs Marseille

Which would you choose for a day trip - Nice or St Tropez? How about Marseille?




|||



From where? Knowing where you%26#39;re departing from would help in giving you some feedback, because of the logistics involved.




|||



Nice vs St-Trop? Nice all the way!




|||



We%26#39;re planning to take the train from Avignon




|||



Definitely Nice.




|||



Nice would be my preferred city, certainly, but it isn%26#39;t sensible for a day trip from Avignon. You can be in Marseille in about 30 mins. To go to Nice, you%26#39;ll have to change trains, and the journey will take 3 1/2 - 4 hours each way.




|||



there are direct trains from Avigon to Nice (so no need to change trains); on the other hand it is a long train ride... the fastest trains (TGV) would make the trip in 3.5 hours. I would not enjoy 7 hours of train riding on the same day to have a look at Nice.




|||



Nice would be my choice but not worth it unless you can stay at least one night.




|||



If it%26#39;s only for the one day, Marseilles is your best bet, Nice 2nd choice and no St-Trop for train ride.




|||



I%26#39;ve read so many conflicting reports about Marseille. Is it worth visiting?




|||



You might consider a day trip to St Remy or/and Les Baux. You could do both in one day and they are charming little towns. They are not far from Avignon. You could take a bus tour to do.





I cannot comment on Marseille as I only passed thru.
