Avignon to Marseille Route Overview

The fastest Avignon to Marseille trains use the LGV Mediterranee south of Avignon before descending into Marseille through tunnels and the northern suburbs toward Saint-Charles. The route links two different station patterns: Avignon TGV is outside the old city walls, while Marseille Saint-Charles sits above the city center with metro access to the Old Port. A distinctive feature is the choice between the fast TGV route and the slower TER line through Arles, where some trains give access to the Camargue side of Provence. TGV INOUI uses reserved seating, OUIGO requires a booked seat, and TER services normally do not require seat reservations.

Practical Information for TGV and TER Travelers

Luggage rules differ between TGV INOUI, OUIGO, and TER, so check the fare conditions before boarding. Keep bags labeled and stored without blocking aisles or doors.

Luggage Allowance

On TGV INOUI, passengers may bring 2 large pieces up to 130 cm each plus 1 hand baggage item. OUIGO fares include limited baggage as specified at booking, with extra or larger bags requiring a paid option. TER regional trains allow normal personal luggage carried by the passenger.

Storage Facilities

TGV sets have overhead racks for smaller bags and luggage areas near carriage entrances for larger suitcases. TER trains on the Avignon Centre to Marseille route have overhead racks and open vestibule areas, but space can be tight at peak commuting times.

Avignon to Marseille Map

The fast Avignon TGV to Marseille Saint-Charles route follows the LGV Mediterranee south from Courtine, bypassing central Arles and Aix-en-Provence TGV before entering Marseille from the north. TER trains from Avignon Centre follow the classic line through Tarascon, Arles, Miramas, Vitrolles Aeroport Marseille Provence, and L'Estaque. The route crosses Rhone valley plains, industrial rail approaches near Marseille, and coastal sections around L'Estaque on some regional services.

Rail vs Bus vs Plane

The Avignon to Marseille train gives city-center access at both ends when using Avignon Centre TER services, and the fastest TGV from Avignon TGV reaches Marseille Saint-Charles in about half an hour. Intercity buses usually take around 1 hour 30 minutes to 2 hours 15 minutes depending on traffic and the stop used in each city. Flights are not a practical option for this short Provence route because there are no useful nonstop city-pair flights and airport transfers would exceed the rail time. Rail also produces lower emissions than car or air travel on this corridor.
