Shuttle available between TGV station and Avignotown station

For those who need to get from Avignon TGV station to Avignon town station and vice versa, or into Avignon itself, there’s a shuttle bus/navette.

It runs every 20 minutes and takes 10-15 minutes, depending on traffic; tickets cost €1.20 per person from the driver, who can give change.

Buses run from the front of the TGV station, where general parking is found (the back is where car rentals are situated).

The stop in town is just inside the city walls through the gate opposite the railway station, in front of the Post Office.

From the bus stop it’s an easy walk down the Cours Jean Jaurès, past the tourist office, which is a source of much useful information. From there it's a short walk straight along Rue de la Republique to the Place de L’Horloge, with the Palais des Papes just beyond.

Here’s a link to the tourist office map showing the main tourist area of Avignon. It can also be downloaded with other useful info from the site:

It would not hurt to have change at hand. While it is true that the drivers are in general helpful, I saw a passenger had to run to the train station and get change since the driver did not have change for Euro 20 (understandable, though, at 6:30 AM).

Thanks all. Very helpful as we'll be taking the TGV to Avignon later this month, and I inadvertently booked for the TGV station in Avignon!

Buses in Avignon like ones here in the Alpes maritimes and the var regions are not obliged to accept notes over 10, although they may give a credit note for change which can be exchanged for cash at the ticket offices [not exactly handy for folk rushing for a train]

It is much easier to break notes somewhere else before going for a bus

Do they run 24 hours? If not, when does the last one leave from the TGV station?

8. Re: Shuttle available between TGV station and Avignotown station

Thanks; the schedule for which you kindly provided the link indicates there isn't a shuttle when I arrive from Paris, 2350.

Can I depend on a taxi being around?
