Eurostar has launched a weekly direct service
between London and Avignon, in the heart of the Provence region of
southern France.
It is the eighth successive year that Eurostar
is running the service which takes less than six hours from London
St Pancras International, and less than five and a half hours from
Ashford International.
Tickets are available from £99 return in
standard class and £249 in Leisure Select.
The direct service will run every Saturday from
London St Pancras International and Ashford International until 5
September 2009.
Avignon Centre Station is the city station and
is distinct from Avignon TGV station, which is on the TGV Med
high-speed line. A shuttle bus operates between the two stations,
which runs about every 20 minutes and takes approximately 10
minutes. The cost of the journey is approximately 3 euros for a
single journey.
Avignon and over 60 other French destinations
are also available all year round by combining a Eurostar journey
to Paris and Lille and an onward journey on a French TGV service.
