Buses to Avignon
Taking the bus can often be the best way to reach Avignon, one of Provence's, and France's, most historic cities. The town is easily reached by bus from Lyon or Marseille, and travelers can even take a long distance bus to Avignon from Paris. That's a very handy option for anyone flying into Paris CDG, making the journey from North America much easier.
Which is the main bus station in Avignon?
Buses to Avignon will arrive at Avignon, Centre (also listed as Avignon Boulevard Saint Roch). This means that passengers will alight right next to the city's main station, which is useful for reaching nearby destinations like Arles or Marseille. Local buses run from the station as well, including the LER 18, 22, and 23, so getting into central Avignon isn't difficult.
Which bus companies offer buses to Avignon?
When travelers book a bus to Avignon, they could travel with a couple of companies. Services are provided by Eurolines (the major operator), as well as BlaBlaBus. Infobus also offers some connections from Barcelona.
Why travel by bus to Avignon?
Buses offer an affordable and comfortable route to Avignon, taking a lot of the stress out of arrival. For those coming from the USA, buses offer an easy way to transfer from Barcelona El Prat or Paris CDG, both of which cater for flights across the Atlantic. Buses also run from almost all southern French cities, making life easier for those enjoying city-hopping vacations. Companies like Eurolines operate daily schedules on most routes, so finding a suitable departure time won't be hard, and the arrival point is very close to Avignon city center.
Before you travel to Avignon by bus - good to know!
The city of Avignon isn't large at all, so walking (or hiring bicycles) is a popular way to see the sights. Alternatively, Lietaud double-decker buses run from sight to sight, allowing visitors to take everything in when time is short. There's quite a lot to see. The Palace of the Popes was once home to the Pope during the famous medieval "schism", while the Musee du Petit Palais hosts a magical collection of paintings from the Avignon School. If taking vacation snaps is a priority, there's nothing like a stroll to the end of the ruined Pont d'Avignon. The views of the city and the River Rhone are sublime.
