The SNCF (Société Nationale des Chemins de fer français) or the "National society of French railways" is France's national state-owned railway company. The SNCF operates the country's national rail services, including the TGV, France's high-speed rail network that travels Europe.
Fom the Sainte Devote bus stop .. take the stairs down, then the escalator and we arrive at SNCF of Monte Carlo, Monaco. "GARE DE MONACO" is apparently the fanciest train station in Europe. Gotta see it, with coffee vending machines and bright lights. It is, as overrated as everything else is in Monaco.
The customer service ( I don't know if they were having a slow day or what ) but it's appallingly inefficient. The service counter female officer was talking to a French auntie for like half an hour (the line did not move), and at the other counter the male officer was taking a break ( was there a siesta I didnt know about? ) Eventhough, I could see him moving around behind the counter screen, he just let us stand there in the queue for many minutes.I found myself secretly becoming a huge fan of the Lignes D'Azur cheerful orange buses, with helpful French bus drivers everytime I board.
