Metz to Avignon Route Overview

The Metz to Avignon route is a north-south French rail trip from the Moselle valley to Provence, using high-speed sections and the busy Rhone Valley approach toward Avignon. A distinctive feature is the arrival pattern: many long-distance trains use Avignon TGV, a purpose-built station outside the historic walls, with short rail or taxi links to Avignon Centre. TGV INOUI seats are reservation-based, so passengers travel on the specific train printed on the ticket rather than choosing any departure. If your final address is inside the old town, check whether the ticket ends at Avignon TGV or includes the short onward leg to Avignon Centre.
