Travelling to Provence
From North America the easiest way of getting to Provence is to
fly to Paris. From Paris (Charles de Gaulle Airport) there are
TGV fast trains directly to Avignon. The journey takes about
three hours and there are trains every few hours. If you plan to
spend a few nights in Paris first, there are frequent TGV trains
from Paris Gare de Lyon to Avignon. Schedules can be seen
on the French Rail web-site
www.sncf.fr and tickets can be ordered from
www.raileurope.com/canada or Teachers Travel can order these
tickets for you.
Another possibility way of getting to Provence is to fly to
Marseille (usually connecting via London) and from here it is
just a half hour train ride to Avignon.
If you would like to combine a week
in Provence with a week in the Languedoc Region, there is a
train directly from Avignon to Collioure which takes about three
hours. |
