A month or so ago, I checked TGV and SNCF sites for trains from Paris to Avignon mid-July. There was a 2-hour train, no stops, but it was too early to book.
now I checked and I can book, but the only trains are 3hours + and a connection - is there any explanation for this? Should I wait and see if the two-hour train comes back mysteriously (just as it went away mysteriously)??
That one + hour is not a huge deal, just was really looking forward to the fast train.
Thanks, all,
Rachel
PS I have been on "chat" with an agent who says that all summer routes and schedule are not uploaded yet - if I check back I might find fast train....worried that if I don't book these (price is right), I'll lose out.
And just now he replied "Best to book early" - so I think that's what I"ll do.
Unless someone advises otherwise :)
What day are you trying to book just for reference ?
July 17, Wednesday
That's helpful to know, thank you!
Maybe you looked earlier at schedules to the Avignon TGV station and are now seeing schedules with the connection to the Avignon Centre station. Those trains running direct to Avignon TGV take 2h 40m with no intermediate stops at all (never mind connections).
As Laura said, be careful which station you route to - the fast trains go to Avignon TGV, and then it is just a hop into town by the connecting shuttle train.
Important info!! Thank you soooo much,

Found it! AVIGNON TGV :)
Thanks again for your help,
