The tram line between Aix-en-Provence and Marseille entered service on 13 August 1903 and had a route of 30 km. It was managed by the Compagnie des tramways électriques des Bouches-du-Rhône. The line had its headers at the end of the Cours Mirabeau, in Aix, and the Saint-Antoine neighborhood of Marseille. In June 1921, the Régie départementale des chemins de fer et tramways électriques des Bouches-du-Rhône took over the line, which kept it in service until 1948.
