TGV from CDG to Provence
 
I've read the many posts about buying tickets for travel on the TGV from the airport to Avignon, but I've also read in Rick Steves that the TGV also goes to Arles. However, when checking the TGV web site, I don't find anything about the TGV to Arles. Have I misread information? I'd appreciate your help, as I'd prefer to arrive in Arles.

According to this schedule the TGV stop at Avignon,then you must change and take the regional train to Arles..

Usually I just go to Avignon ..
Here is just a sample to give you an idea..


<11h43 - AEROPORT CDG 2 TGV

14h39 - 14h39> 15h00 via AVIGNON TGV
05164 2e classe Période de pointe - Réservation obligatoire
Durée 04h07
15h00 - AVIGNON TGV

15h50 - 15h50> Null via ARLES
Autocar 49011 2e classe

Just put Roissy(95) as the city of departure..
Good Luck..I am going to Avignon the 8th of September..

This is the second thread you've started about the same issue. As noted on your first thread, the TGV doesn't go to Arles. You get off at Avignon and take a regional train or bus.

that's right, St Cirq, and I apologize. After I posted my question the first time, I checked for responses and never even found my original post. So, thinking I had not submitted the question, I tried again. My error.
