Taking the train from Avignon to Paris
You can’t go to France without stopping in Paris and there’s no French city quite like Paris. Just 2.5 hours away from Avignon by spacious OUIGO or high-speed TGV trains (free WiFi and first- and second-class options available), you can go from idyllic provincial living to a Parisian urbanite in no time at all!
Once you get off at Paris Gare de Lyon, head to the Eiffel Tower, or the Arc de Triomphe (because this whole trip is a triumph thanks to trains, right?) or admire the art at the Louvre Museum. An evening stroll along the Seine is a lovely way to end an evening, after all, you want to be up early for some of those glorious French croissants! Fancy something a bit different? Why not pay a visit to the Paris Catacombs or a day trip to the Palace of Versailles. Paris is known for its food, so check out our guide to the top restaurants in Paris for inspiration.
