Connecting travel to Avignon

Throughout the year you can reach Avignon by taking the Eurostar to Lille Europe, making one simple change within the same station and taking a TGV the rest of the way to Avignon TGV station.

As a Railteam hub, Lille Europe boasts English speaking Railteam staff at two information points within the station, station announcements in English as well as French, and all Train Managers on TGVs departing Lille Europe are English speaking. What’s more, Railteam’s “hop on the next train” service allows you to take the next available high-speed Railteam train if you miss your connection due to disrupted services. You can also connect in Paris.

Avignon TGV Station is on the outskirts of town, about 1.8 miles (3km) to the south, between the ring road and the River Durance. A shuttle bus runs into town every 15 minutes and you can also pick up a taxi or hire a car from one of the rental companies located at the station.

As with our direct summer services you can choose to travel from St Pancras International or Ashford International, as well as from Ebbsfleet International. This stunning station is our second home in Kent, and is located just a few minutes from junction 2 of the M25 and the Bluewater Shopping Centre, putting it within easy reach of people throughout the South East.
