Journey Tips

Cagnes-sur-Mer to Lausanne takes roughly 5–6 hours, typically with a change at Nice or Marseille and a TGV or Lyria service onward. The route crosses the French-Swiss border at Geneva.

Scenic Highlight

Departing the Côte d'Azur, the train passes dramatic cliffs above the Mediterranean before heading inland; the later Alpine approach into Lausanne from the south is equally rewarding.

Booking Tip

Book the Côte d'Azur regional leg on SNCF Connect separately from the Lyria or TGV international segment. Combining fares often saves money over a single through-ticket.
