The second train

The TGV let us off at Lyon and we transfered to the milk run, a smaller, slower and much older train. It took as long to get from Lyon to Arles as it did from Paris to Lyon on the TGV. I've since heard there is a TGV all the way to Arles once a day ! We met and spoke with both a British woman who was visiting friends in Avignon and an American women whose husband is working in France for his US based company. (I think Jule has more info on her but you'll have to wait for her blog entry).
