Hello, I am picking up my parents next week at Gare St Charles TGV station in Marseille. We have never been to Marseille before and I am trying to figure out the orientation of the station by looking at aerial maps. I want to give them a meeting location that is convenient for us with our rental car but I can't figure out where to tell them! Does anyone have suggestions? Someplace where taxis pull up or a central meeting spot. Thanks! Pam

You will note from the map and photos that St-Charles is situated on the top of a rather steep hill. Plenty of one-way streets encircle it. The guide shows a parking lot so it might be easier to park your car and meet your parents on the station platform as they disembark.
