Cannes to Avignon Route Overview

The route leaves the French Riviera at Cannes, follows the Mediterranean coast through the Var, then turns inland after Marseille toward the Rhone valley. A distinctive part of this trip is the contrast between coastal sections near Saint-Raphael and the faster inland run on the LGV Mediterranee before Avignon TGV. Direct TGV INOUI trains are fully reserved, while TER segments on connecting itineraries use open seating without assigned places. Avignon TGV is outside the old city walls, so travelers heading to the historic center should allow time for the short shuttle train or local transfer to Avignon Centre.

Practical Information for TGV INOUI Travelers

Cannes to Avignon trains may combine reserved TGV INOUI travel with TER regional segments. Keep bags labeled and easy to lift, especially when changing at Marseille Saint-Charles.

Luggage Allowance

On TGV INOUI, passengers may bring 2 large pieces of luggage with maximum dimensions of 130 cm each, plus 1 item of hand baggage. Bags must be labeled with the passenger's name. TER regional trains follow similar practical carry-on rules, but space is more limited at busy times.

Storage Facilities

TGV INOUI trains have overhead racks for smaller bags and luggage stacks near coach entrances for larger suitcases. TER trains on the Riviera and Provence sections usually provide overhead racks and open areas near doors, with no checked-luggage service.

Special Items

Folded bicycles in a cover are accepted as luggage when they fit the published size limits. Assembled bicycles require a bike space where available and must be booked when the train type requires it. Skis, musical instruments, and sports equipment must be packed and stored without blocking aisles or doors.

The Cannes to Avignon train links the Riviera city center with either Avignon TGV or Avignon Centre without airport transfers. Buses between Cannes and Avignon are less frequent and commonly take around 4 to 5 hours, often via Marseille or Aix-en-Provence. Flying is not practical for this city pair because there are no regular direct commercial flights between Cannes and Avignon; using Nice or Marseille airports adds transfers and waiting time. Rail also has a lower carbon footprint than car or air travel on this Provence corridor.

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