🇫🇷 Nice Ville

Major

France

Nice Ville anchors the rail network of the French Riviera and carries UIC code 8775605. It is the hub for services along the Mediterranean coast between Marseille and the Italian border at Ventimiglia, taking TGV and Intercités trains from Paris as well as the heavily used regional services that connect the resorts from Cannes to Menton. The coastal line's alignment, squeezed between the Alps and the sea, concentrates almost all traffic on this single corridor, which explains the station's importance to a city of moderate size. Nice Ville stands in the central Libération quarter at roughly 43.70° N, 7.26° E, with tram connections towards the Old Town and the airport. Departures follow Europe/Paris time.
