Its our 10th anniversary to I'd like to make it special!

Thanks so much,

Peace be with you,

Is there a bus or other means of transportation to go to Pernes-Les Fountaines from Avignon? I do not drive.

I am heading off to Provence in May. Could you help me with getting to Pont du Gard from Avignon by public transport? Any other tips?

Cheers,

Mike

We will be traveling from Avignon to Nimes, and were wondering if you can see the Pont du gard from the train. Would it make a difference to see it from the TGV or the regional train or the TGV, or perhaps from a different city coming down such as Orange? Thank you.

What is the easiest way to go see this monument? Tour, local bus?

Is it possible to do day trips down to the coast? ie Cassis by public transport from Avignon? Trying to decide whether to just stay in Avignon or move down to the coast. I would like to see the Verdun gorge and am wondering if it would be cheaper/easier to do via public transport from Avignon or from the coast.

Thanks.

I have 4 days to kill whilst my husband is on a Tour de France trip. I thought I would base myself in Avignon for 4 days and then move on to see another area. I won't have a car but enjoy walking. I thought I would go on a couple of organised day trips and see other places by hopping on and off local transport. Can someone suggest a base for the other 4 days? I suppose Marseille would be obvious but I really prefer smaller places, but need public transport arteries. Actually, I wouldn't mind doing a coach tour of Provence, but all the ones I can find have flights included. If anyone can suggest anything I would be really appreciative. I wouldn't even mind moving on to another area completely - but don't want to be in a city. Thanks so much.

Is it possible to visit many/some of the Avignon and near district tourist attractions by local bus and train, rather than having to take tours? If so, which would they be? Thanks.

hi all

Are there direct trains linking Toulouse to Avignon?
Many thanks!

We want to explore Provence (something I did over 30 years ago). Lots of places to see (for me to re-visit) but for night-life - and a really good base
to return to after days out - Avignon? Aix? Arles? Or none of these?
Advice please.

Is there a bus service within the city walls?

I'd like to ask some advice on Avignon.

If you had only 2 days to see Avigno, what would be the highlights to visit for those 2 days?

Would it be advisable to go on foot? I've read many comments that Avignon can be a bit hilly so taking this tram would be best?

Can anyone tell more about this electric train/tram? How much would it costs?
Is there a cheaper day pass?

What area/district has the best choice of budget hotels? I am talking in the area of 80 Euro below per night for a double room with private shower.

Does anyone recommend a good day trip near Avignon which is worth visiting?

Thank you all for your help!

Hi! I'm planning to take a airplane tour during my stay in Avignon. The problem is, that i'm travelling alone, and for one person it's quite expensive. If somebody who will be in Avignon (from 9 to 14th October) wants to make the same excursion - that would be great. Much cheaper!!!

What is the best way from the Avignon TGV station to the centre of town? Is it walking distance or are there buses or taxis at the station? What would be the bus or taxi fare?

Could anyone please advise me about the best way to get from Avignon to San Sebastion (Spain)? Could a car be used and if so, how long would it take?

We are traveling from Avignon to Bedoin on Sept. 30 and returning Oct. 7. Is taxi service available? How much will it cost?

Is there bus or other transportation available on those days?

On certain train schedules it shows:
7:20AM/15 Oct Paris Gare Lyon 9:57AM/15 Oct Avignon Tgv 2hr 37min

10:07AM/15 Oct Avignon Tgv 10:17AM/15 Oct Avignon 0hr 10min

Where does this extra 10 minutes take you?

Thanks for your help

Hi,

Is there a direct train from Avignon to Martel?
Or do I need to transfer at a certain city?
Any idea on cost and duration of travel?

Thank you for any help!

We will be staying in the Luberon soon! Could anyone tell me what the driving distance is from Avignon to Carcassone? If it would be more practical,
would we be better off to make it a day trip on the train? Any info would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks very much!!

My boyfriend and I are considering visiting Vaison-La-Romaine as a day trip from Avignon. How long do you think it would take to drive there?

I enjoyed your pictures of the area!

Any bus from Avignon to Nice ? I have found Car Phoceens, but not sure if still updated. It takes about 5 hours from Avignon, but where the terminal is in Nice ? Any website ?

Has anyone had any experience with this hotel? I am planning to spend 4 nights in either Avignon or Arles with a rental car to visit other towns. I have made reservations at the Kryiad Avignon for 26 June through 30 June.

I'd like to get some hotel opinions and also points of interest. I'd also like to get opinions on which town is best to stay in, Avignon or Arles.

Thanks.

I would appreciate any suggestions on an itinerary, hotels, restaurants, places to see/things to do, and any other good advice you have to offer.

Thank you very, very much!

I will be traveling to Avignon from Nice by train in late August for 3 days. I would like to make some side trips in the Avignon area. Are buses and trains good choices for places like Pont du Gard, Arles, Nimes and Orange? I would appreciate any information.

Thank you
