Avignon Train Travel FAQ and Tips

Should I reserve seats on trains from Avignon?

TGV INOUI and OUIGO trains from Avignon TGV require a specific train booking with reserved seating. TER regional trains from Avignon Centre generally use open seating and do not require seat reservations. For long-distance travel during Easter Week, August holidays, Christmas, and New Year, book earlier because lower fare classes and popular departure times can sell out.

Do high-speed trains serve Avignon?

Yes. Avignon TGV is on the French high-speed network and is served by TGV INOUI and OUIGO trains operated by SNCF Voyageurs. These services use reserved seating and connect Avignon with major French high-speed corridors. Avignon Centre is not the main high-speed station; it mainly handles TER regional trains and local links to Avignon TGV.

What is the main train route from Avignon?

The main long-distance route from Avignon is the TGV INOUI service from Avignon TGV to Paris Gare de Lyon, taking around 2h40m on the high-speed line. SNCF Voyageurs operates the route, with some OUIGO departures also serving the Avignon-Paris corridor. Most high-speed trains use Avignon TGV rather than Avignon Centre, so check the station before travel.

Is there an airport rail connection in Avignon?

Avignon does not have a dedicated airport rail link for Avignon Provence Airport. For flights, many rail passengers use Avignon TGV or Avignon Centre and continue by road transfer when needed. For larger airport connections, travelers often use rail services toward Marseille Saint-Charles or Aix-en-Provence TGV, then transfer to Marseille Provence Airport by the available airport transport serving those stations.
