Pontarlier Rail Station

Pontarlier is a charming and historic town situated in eastern France in the Franche-Comte region. The city is a popular tourist destination close to the border with Switzerland.

The French high speed rail network (TGV) travels direct from Paris to Pontarlier twice a day with a travel time of around three hours. Trains leaving from Lyon to Pontarlier take around two hours.

The Pontarlier Rail Station is conveniently located close to the town centre. The station has basic facilities such as toilets, newsagents, ATMs and vending machines. There are restaurants and cafes located outside of the station.

The town of Pontarlier was famous for the production of absinthe alcohol until 1915, when it was banned. Since then the ban has been partially lifted and this has resulted in some distilleries once again producing absinthe. The town was also mentioned in the well known novel ‘Les Miserables’ written by Victor Hugo.
