Valence to Avignon Route Overview

This short France train route has two distinct station patterns: the fastest trains use the out-of-town TGV stations at Valence TGV and Avignon TGV, while TER trains serve the central stations at Valence Ville and Avignon Centre. The route follows the Rhone corridor south toward Provence, with classic-line TER trains passing river towns and vineyard areas around Montelimar and Orange. Seat reservation is mandatory on TGV INOUI, while TER regional trains normally do not require a reserved seat. The choice is mainly between a 30-minute high-speed trip with station transfers at both ends or a slower center-to-center regional train.

Luggage Allowance

Rating

The train gives the clearest city-to-city option between Valence and Avignon, especially when using TER from Valence Ville to Avignon Centre or TGV for the shortest travel time between the two TGV stations. Buses can be cheaper but usually take around 2 hours or more and have fewer daily departures. There are no practical direct flights for this short Rhone Valley trip; flying would require travel through other airports and far longer total travel time. Rail also has a lower carbon footprint than using a car or connecting flight on this corridor.

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