Next spring my wife and I are taking a 3+ week trip to France.
We want to go to Antibes, Aix-en-provence, Annecy and return to Paris for a day so that we can fly out from CDG.
My question involves going from Aix-en-provence to Annecy. We are used to trainline and plan on purchasing fares from Paris to Antibes, Antibes to Aix-en-provence by train but our dilemmna is going from AIX TO ANNECY. There are 2 changes with little time in between changing trains. Are we better off buying a bus fare directly from Aix to Annecy? We want to avoid renting a car.
Those of you who may have gone from Aix to Annecy, how did you resolve this situation.
Thank you for any help which you can provide.

I am not sure where you are looking at train schedules, for what dates or what you consider little time in between but here is example I found on rome2rio.com for a train tomorrow that has one transfer and a 40 minute time between (and there were others that had between 14 min and 31 min). Others can advise how much time you likely need at Lyon station for such a transfer.
AIX EN PROVENCE TGV

1h 28m
TGV 2242 towards STRASBOURG • TGV inOui
LYON PART DIEU

Trainline is a 3rd party booking site and likely isn't showing every option. Use the SNCF website: https://www.sncf.com/en
