Things to do in Avignon after the train
Avignon is the walled city of the Popes on the Rhône, with the palace, the famous bridge and the Provence villages around.

If you want the day in Avignon organised - a driver, a guide, timed entry tickets - we do that too. Mention it in the WhatsApp chat.
Best time to take the train from Paris to Avignon
The train from Paris to Avignon runs all year. High season in Avignon follows the school holidays and the big events. If you can travel outside those weeks, the same seat costs less and the train is quieter. Whatever the month, early booking is the single biggest saving.
Train, plane or bus from Paris to Avignon?
Train versus plane between Paris and Avignon comes down to time and hassle: the train leaves from and arrives in the city centre, with no baggage limits and no queues; the plane may be quicker in the air but rarely door to door. Buses exist and are cheap, but for comfort and reliability the train is the option Haqqi Tours recommends first.
Return train from Avignon to Paris
Coming back? Say so on the form. A return train ticket from Avignon to Paris booked with the outbound is frequently cheaper than two separate bookings, and it keeps the whole trip on one WhatsApp thread with one point of contact.
How much does the train from Paris to Avignon cost?
Train ticket prices from Paris to Avignon move like flight fares: the earlier you book and the quieter the departure, the less you pay. The class you choose, whether you want a refundable ticket, a seat reservation or a return, and whether children are travelling all change the total. Rather than quote a figure that will be out of date tomorrow, Haqqi Tours checks the fare for the day you want to travel and sends it to you through WhatsApp before you decide.
What we do include in the price we send: the ticket itself in the class you chose, the seat reservation where the rail company requires one, and our service - checking the timetable, booking, sending the e-ticket and answering questions before and during the journey. There are no hidden extras added at the end.
Cheapest train ticket from Paris to Avignon: how to pay less
A cheap train ticket from Paris to Avignon is not luck - it is booking the right seat on the right departure. Here is how we find it:
- Avoid the first and last trains of the day, which carry commuters and business passengers at higher fares
- Let us know if your dates are flexible - moving by a day, or by an hour, often halves the fare
- Ask about children's, youth and senior fares - most operators on this route discount them
- Book both directions together - a return or two singles, whichever comes out cheaper on your dates
- Choose a fixed-departure ticket if your plans are certain; flexible tickets cost more
- For families and groups, ask about group fares - four or more travellers frequently unlock a lower rate
We are happy to be asked "what is the cheapest way to get from Paris to Avignon by train?" - it is a question we answer many times a day, and the answer for your date comes back by WhatsApp.
How to book train tickets from Paris to Avignon with Haqqi Tours

Our team then messages you on WhatsApp to check your booking: we confirm the departures available on that day, the seats and the cost. You choose, we book, and the e-ticket arrives in the same chat, ready to show on your phone or print.
- Step 1 - send the form: date, one-way or return, adults and children, class
- Step 2 - we message you in the WhatsApp chat with the available departures, the seats and the cost
- Step 3 - you confirm the departure you prefer and we arrange payment in the same chat

Timetable of the Paris to Avignon train
The exact Paris to Avignon train times change with the season and the day of the week, so we send the timetable for your specific date rather than a list that may be wrong by the time you read it. As a rule the service runs roughly hourly, each taking around 2 hours 40 minutes. Weekend timetables are sometimes thinner in the early morning; holiday periods add extra trains and sell out earlier.
We recommend booking a specific departure rather than an open ticket on this route: the fare is lower and the seat is guaranteed. If your day changes, we can normally move you to another train through the same WhatsApp chat.
Is there a direct train from Paris to Avignon?
There is a direct train from Paris to Avignon operated by SNCF TGV inOui and Ouigo, and it is the one we book unless you ask for something different. One ticket covers the whole journey; you keep your seat from Paris Gare de Lyon to Avignon TGV; children and luggage stay in one place. It runs roughly hourly.
Departure: Paris Gare de Lyon
The train from Paris to Avignon leaves from Paris Gare de Lyon, in Paris - paris is served by Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG) about 25 km north-east of the centre and Orly (ORY) about 14 km south, with Beauvais far to the north; the Seine divides the Right Bank of the Louvre, Champs-Élysées and Montmartre from the Left Bank of the Eiffel Tower, Saint-Germain and the Latin Quarter, and Disneyland Paris lies about 40 km east of the city. Plan to be at the station about 20 to 30 minutes before departure: enough to find the platform on the boards, pass any ticket gate or security check the station uses, and board without hurrying. Getting there: The RER B from CDG and the Orlyval-RER from Orly reach the centre in 35-50 minutes, and they are fine for a light traveller, but they end with stairs, gates and a metro change with luggage; Roissybus and Orlybus stop at fixed points. A car takes the périphérique straight to the hotel door, and to Disneyland or Versailles directly.
- Luggage travels with you: racks at the coach ends and above the seats, no weighing, no fees
- Cafés, kiosks and left-luggage are available at Paris Gare de Lyon for early arrivals
- Haqqi Tours offers a private transfer from your accommodation in Paris to the station on request
- Ask us which hall or level your train leaves from - big stations have more than one
