Avignon : how to get there

Avignon is in the heart of Provence at the intersection of 3 French regions: Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, Languedoc-Roussillon and Rhône-Alpes. The city is located in the south of France, 50 miles from Marseille Airport, but also easily reachable from Lyon (55min from Lyon Saint-Exupery Airport by direct high speed trains, TGV) or from Paris (2h40 by TGV, connected with flights). Avignon has also its own airport (with a few flights from United-Kingdom and Ireland as well as other european countries, during the summer).

See the Avignon Conference center website for full information on how to get there.

The main train Station : AVIGNON CENTRE is just outside the walls of Avignon but very close to the main Hotels in Avignon (5 to 10 min by feet). The TGV Station and the airport are 3kms from the center, which can be easily reached by regular navette or the local train LA VIRGULE (4min, 35 times a day) at any time of the day : we will organize the transfert from these places on Sartuday afternoon in case of special needs. Taxis are available at the exit and may be reserved on request on our website.

It is difficult to park in the center because Avignon has many narrow pedestrian streets. Please let us know if you wish to park your car in the Palace Car Park, Rue Ferruce 84000 Avignon
