Most probably, you will fly to
the international Charles de Gaulle
airport in the northen Paris metropolitan area, and then drive down to
Avignon (about 6 hours) or, more
confortable,
take the high - speed train TGV, either directly from the airport
(about
3:30
hours) or from the Gare de Lyon train station in donwntown Paris (about
2:40
hours). To go from Charles de Gaulle to Gare de Lyon you can take the
fast subway RER (about 1 hour) or take an airport bus or else a taxi
(more expansive). There are also many train connections from/to major
european cities.
Avignon is situated on a traffic crossroad axis north - south, east - west, as well on the axis of high speed train (TGV), and the city gets its own small airport Avignon - Châteaublanc (10 km from Avignon). Nevertheless, you may fly to the international Marseille-Marignane airport (30 km from Avignon), or the international Charles de Gaulle airport in the northen Paris metropolitan area, as mentioned above. |
