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.

Is there an airport rail connection in Avignon?
