TGV to Avignon
 
Can anyone please tell me how long a trip it is from Paris to Avignon on the TGV, and what the cost is? Thanks

The ride is 2.5 hrs and the cost is $104 1st class and $81 2nd class, per person, each way. If you purchase in Europe the price will be about 10-12% less, due to the exchange rate.

About three and a half hours, with trains approx.every hour from Paris. <BR>Cost depends on what time of which day you travel. <BR>Check www.sncf.fr for more info on prices etc.

Check also www.raileurope.com - great information there and you can book tickets!

The prices I quoted are from the official EurailTicket 2000 Tariff, and the timing is from Thomas Cook Timetable, so you can rely on them 100%

Kevin.. <BR> <BR>I don't want to start an argument here and I agree with you that the Thomas Cook timetable is reliable, but I was suprised when you stated the journey time is two and a half hours. <BR>Could you tell me which trains take only two and a half hours, as the fastest ones I can find take 3 hours 21 minutes, and most take just over three and a half hours. <BR> <BR>

Rail Europe's train schedules say that the TGV takes about 3 1/2 hours from Paris to Avignon. First Class is $106.00 - Second Class is $83.00. There's a train station right in the Charles de Gaulle airport, which makes it easy. You just get off the plane and onto the train and by the time you get to Avignon, your hotel room is ready!
