London to Avignon trains

Travel from London to Avignon and discover why Avignon has become a favourite amongst artists, sun-seekers and wine-lovers. Although we can’t take you there directly for the foreseeable future, you can still get to Avignon by taking a Eurostar train to Paris or Lille and changing on to a connecting TGV InOui train.

As we’re a member of Railteam, you’ll have the peace of mind that you can benefit from the ‘Hop on the next available train’ feature if you face delays en route. If you miss your TGV InOui connection, you can hop on the next available train with no extra charge.
