Marseille Saint-Charles Station Leading the Way in Connections
From Lille to Marseille, passing through Lyon, some stations turn out to be true singles nests. And according to happn, there are even perfect days for making connections! According to the ranking, Lille Flandres Station is where you're most likely to meet your soulmate, with Sunday being the best day to give it a try. In second place is Lyon Part-Dieu Station, where the Lord's day is also the most promising for romantic encounters. And on the third…As you step off the podium, you'll find the Marseille Saint-Charles station (where you should definitely aim for Tuesday to bump into your big love). Following that, we have Toulouse Matabiau (Wednesday), Nancy (Sunday), Strasbourg (Sunday), Lyon Perrache (Monday), Nîmes (Saturday), La Rochelle (Tuesday), and Valence-Ville (Thursday).
Every station has its own style of single!
Because a crush is all about the vibe, happn has also analyzed the passions of travelers based on their destinations. Are you a gamer? Head to Lille, Nancy, and Nîmes. More of a football fan? Marseille is waiting for you! Do you have the spirit of an adventurer? Grab a ticket to La Rochelle (perfect for road trip lovers) or Valence (great for hikers). And in Lyon, it’s mainly social game lovers who are meeting Cupid.
