Well, I bought multiple train tickets today to and from Avignon, but it's not the end of the world to exchange them ... I am spending one day night in Avignon (coming from Nice), and the next day going to Arles for a day trip and then leaving for Paris from Avignon. The day I am spending in Avignon is July 4. The arts festival starts July 5, the day I will train to and from Arles and on to Paris. I am set on seeing Arles, but wondering if I'd be better off spending the 4th in Aix?
If I do Aix and Arles, which one should I spend the night in?
Edit: I guess I would stay in Aix, because there is no high speed train from Nice to Arles or Arles to Paris, right? However, it turns out that it also takes much longer to get from Aix to Arles, and as that is meant to be a day trip, this feels like it is untenable, and probably I am best off keeping to Avignon. Just worried about crowds at the train station and the like for the start of the festival, I guess, and wanting to see Aix, but it doesn't seem like it is close enough to anything to get there for a day trip.
