Rennes to Avignon Route Overview

The Rennes to Avignon route links Brittany with Provence without using a domestic flight, crossing from western France to the Rhone valley on successive high-speed lines. A distinctive part of this trip is the arrival on the LGV Mediterranee, where the train approaches Avignon TGV through open Provence landscapes before stopping at the station built for high-speed services outside the historic center. Seat reservations are required on TGV INOUI, so every ticket is tied to a specific train and seat. If your itinerary changes stations in Paris, allow enough time to travel between Paris Montparnasse and Paris Gare de Lyon by metro, taxi, or RER.
