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:

the taxi website for which there's a link is not current, as online reservations can't be made this year. Any suggestions?

I just called the taxi service I linked and they do take reservations. They will not reserve a taxi if you are arriving at the TGV during regular TGV arrival hours as they always have taxis at the taxi ramp there. However all other reservations they DO take. Just confirmed that on the phone.

I should clarify, the taxi service did say there would be a taxi(s) at the ramp when your TGV arrives at 23h50.

If it was me, I'd keep the taxi service number handy 33 (0)4 90 82 20 20 , just in case there aren't enough taxis for the arriving passenger needs. That has happened to me - arrived and the person in front of me got to the last taxi at the ramp. I called for another one and one did come, but at that hour, you may not want to be out there waiting.

I am travelling from Avignon to Antibes return and wish to know how to get to Avignon Bus Station for travel to Barcelona when I come back to Avignon. Is the bus station at the TGV station or would I have to shuttle to the bus?

The bus station is next to the town railway station, fine if you're arriving there; if you're arriving at the TGV station you'll need to catch the shuttle into town, which will drop you off across the road from the town station.

Thanks for that. I do appreciate the directions and will act on them when I get to Avignon.
