Checking cost of train ticket to Avignon

I am trying to navigate the SCNF website for train tickets from Paris to Avigon. It's coming up around 105 EU each and there is nothing in orange (PREM tickets). I assume this means that they are no longer available for my dates, yes? Does 105 sound about right? I have no idea!
Many thanks to all.

How long before you travel? PREMS tickets available up to 90 days prior. 18 months ago, we bought PREMS tickets Paris to Avignon for 17euro each but noticed that there was a huge variation in price.

Whatever price SNCF sets is what it is, so if it is 105 euro, that's about right. That's a long trip, that is around the normal fare for first class. YOu can easily pay less if you go second class or choose a different time of day. I know because I just looked. If it's a PREM, it says so, the orange indicated a variety of things but is the cheapest price. There are plenty of cheaper fares marked in orange, but perhaps you just don't want those times. I know because I just looked.

I am assuming you mean the train you want is July 6th.

You can buy a second class ticket for only 75 euro at 8:46, for example, or 80 euro at 1:15. You can buy a 1st class for only 90 euro at 1:15 and there are idTGV fares (cheap as PREMs) for 1st clas at only 88 euro at 8:46. But if you want some particular time for first class, 105 euro is about right. Ticket prices always vary by time of day.

>>PREMS tickets available up to 90 days prior<<

Three months - not 90 days. Today before 6PM EDT, you can get tickets for travel on Sept 11 - which is 92 days away.
