I will be in Avignon on October 9. I will not have a car. So is there a bus to go to Pont du gard and come back? or after seeing the gard can I take a bus to Nimes?

Is it better to visit Pont du Gard from Avignon or Nimes by bus?

I am planning to travel from Paris to Avignon by train on August 2nd. Do you suggest that I wait until I am in Paris to buy a ticket, or purchase my tickets beforehand online? What would one typically pay for a one-way ticket for someone under 25? If you suggest I purchase it online, which website should I use? (I'm in Canada) Lastly, do I need to buy a TGV student card to get the youth discout, or can I use my ISIC card as proof of my student status?
Thank you for your help.

Can anyone tell me when the festival in July 2009 starts and ends?

Hello Avignon locals / visitors:

Please could you let me know if you know any churches that are:
- within easy access to an international airport (max 1h30 mins travel)
- picturesque, with a minister / priest that can speak English
- with hotels / apartments / gites to rent nearby
- which has a great natural landscape view outside
- good transportation(public and private) available in the area

Thank you so much in advance!

I've been offered a 12 month job (scientific research) in Avignon (at INRA, on the AgroParc near Avignon airport), starting probably late this summer, and I'm trying to decide whether to take it. I don't speak much French, but the professor I will work for doesn't seem to regard that as a problem at all.

Part of my decision rests on what it will be like living for a year in Avignon. I am a single man, aged 59, obviously with at least some sense of adventure. My grown-up children all live in England, and I'd want to easily visit me in France.

Any thoughts, comments, suggestions, from French locals or expats would be appreciated!!

What's the opening hours of Cimetière de Saint Véran?
I want to visit John Stuart Mill's tomb in late May.

I was hoping to find out how far these cities are from Avignon and the best way to get there. We are traveling early from Paris to Avignon and want to add another stop from one of these choices, so input on which you think is the best would be great as well.

In a few months I will be attending a job related course in Rochefort du gard, a rather small town located west of Avignon. As far as transportation is concerned I am unable to drive, what are my options to commute between the two areas? Is public transportation available? or would I need to walk?

Thank you

Two of us are visiting that part of France this November- flying Ryanair into Nimes on a Monday night- would Nimes or Avignon be a better choice for decent pubs on a Monday night? How are Tuesdays? maybe visit Marseille for nightlife?

Im catching a train from Avignon to CDG(airport) in Paris. I want to pick up a hotel shuttle there (my hotel is the Holiday Inn Express in Airport row) I figured this would be the easiest way to get to hotel. Does anyone know if there is a train that goes directly from Avignon to the Charles De Gaulle Airport. THX :)

Are there lockers or other means for storing luggage for the day at the Avignon train station?
