 no.  in the pedantic sense, I'm currently at home
 in Montpellier.  all this is research/planning a
 forthcoming trip.

 in the more useful sense, still no:  that's not the
 right village, and it's not even in the right area
 of France.  La Ciotat is east of Marseille (just to
 the east of Cassis, and SSE of Aix-en-Provence), on
 the Mediterranean coast.  the station (I now know)
 is c.5km NE of the village centre.

 here's where the station apparently is (this is from
 the `.kmz'/`.kml' file, and looks very plausible for
 several reasons I won't bother to enumerate):

    longitude  5.632711829632374
    latitude  43.19943186885426

 now, if I can just plot that on a (printable) street
 map with the (key) streets labelled ....

cheers!
