Can anyone tell me from first hand knowledge, or give me a site to check out, where l can find train times from Avignon(any station) to Marseilles airport? l am having huge difficulty and am sure that you guys can help. All my curly questions are answered through this forum.

This may not be much help, but I do know there is a TGV station right outside the city which is accessible by bus from the city. There is also a train station in the city itself. (this is all just right outside the "gate". I have only come to and from the TGV station via bus to Avignon. Do not know about access to the airport. Happy travels!

I did a quick search and it appears that it would be best to take a train from Avignon to Marseille, and then just take the airport bus from the train station. 8.50€ for the bus, which runs every 20 minutes starting at 5:30 a.m.

The website seems to prefer to send you from Avignon TGV to Aix TGV, and then by airport bus to Marseille Provence airport.
This is quite convenient since Aix TGV is halfway between the airport and Aix, and the airport is appr. as close to Aix TGV as to Marseille city. The airport bus from Marseille will probably see more traffic and potential delays than the one going from Aix TGV.

Cannot comment if the price for the whole journey is okay. Looks kinda steep.

You have been supremely helpful! That makes so much sense - to go via Aix TGV and then the airport bus from there. Where did you find all that? l need to see a timetable.

You may find the timetables at www.bahn.de easier to use than those at the SNCF site. Click on the drop-down menu in the upper right-hand corner for English. After you get summary timetables for Avignon Centre to Marseille Provence Aeroport, click on "Details for all" to see the connecting points.

It didn't come up with "details for all' - so can't find it.

After you get summary timetables, the "Details" for all" link will be on the left-hand side at the bottom of the page.
