How to get to the TGV station in Avignon?

Avignon TGV station, located 5 kilometers from the city center, serves many train stations in France, including Paris in 2h40, Roissy Charles de Gaulle in 3h, Lyon in 1h thanks to the TGV Méditerranée and Marseille in 30 min. However, due to its location on the outskirts of the city, access can be difficult. It is recommended to allow time before departure, as traffic jams and parking problems are common.

The other problem is temporary stops, those who come to pick up travelers and cause traffic jams on drop-off areas.
