Aix-en-Provence is 4.9 km from the place centre. That is a long and awkward last mile with a dog, so think twice before assuming the station solves the whole arrival. The regional bus is not an option for a 30 kg dog.

The dog rules that apply here

Checked against the held operator evidence. Each rule keeps its source and review date so you can verify it before travel.

SNCF trains · TGV INOUI, OUIGO, Intercités & TER

Dogs of all sizes allowed

For a 30 kg dog: a short leash and muzzle are required, the dog travels at your feet, and a pet ticket is needed. Large dogs travel leashed and muzzled at the passenger's feet with a pet ticket; exact fares and night-train/TER conditions vary by product and region.

Think twice about peak summer. The held climate classification is “Mediterranean, hot dry summer”. A train may make the place reachable while heat makes the last mile awkward for a dog; April–June and September–October are the gentler planning window.
