Avignon to Cannes Route Overview

This route links inland Provence with the Mediterranean coast, changing character after Marseille as the line follows the Var and Esterel coastline toward Cannes. The most distinctive section is between Saint-Raphael-Valescure and Cannes, where trains run close to the red Esterel rocks and the sea before reaching the western side of the Cannes urban area. TGV INOUI tickets are train-specific and include a reserved seat, while TER tickets on this corridor are generally valid for regional trains under the fare conditions shown at booking. If your itinerary starts at Avignon TGV, allow time for the short rail or bus transfer from Avignon's walled old town, which is closer to Avignon Centre.

Rating

The Avignon to Cannes train links Avignon TGV or Avignon Centre with Cannes station near the seafront, avoiding airport transfers at both ends. Buses between Avignon and Cannes usually take about 4 to 5 hours and often have fewer daily departures than rail. Flying is rarely practical for this city pair because there is no major airport in Avignon with regular Cannes-bound flights, and using Marseille or Nice airports adds ground transfers and security time. Rail also has a lower carbon footprint than air travel on this short domestic route.

Plus, it’s a greener choice, reducing your carbon footprint
