We are lucky to have an Interval Exchange to Marriott Village d’ile-de-France for an end of September 2024 week.
We plan to arrive in Paris a week prior to the Marriott week to spend 3-4 days in Lyon, then 4 days in the Provence area.
There are TVG express trains from CDG to Lyon. Do we need to purchase train tickets in advance, or we can purchase tickets at CDG to avoid any issues in case of flight delays?
Is 3-4 days in Lyon enough? Which hotels do you recommend? I briefly browsed Marriott Lyon and InterContinental Lyon. We have Titanium status with Marriott if it should play any roles for hotel choice.
It looks like there is an express train from Lyon to Avignon. Should we base our Providence adventure at Avignon or add another base for 2 days? The reason I decided on Avignon is the express train from CDG to Avignon as well as from Avignon to Disney Paris, from there, just a short taxi trip to Marriott resort.
Are there any other cities with a direct express train to Disney Paris?
How is the public transportation from Avignon to Arles, Nimes and other local cities?
Hotel recommendation for Avignon or another city in Provence?
From Marriott Disney resort, we plan to purchase a weekly Navigo pass so we can spend 2-3 days in Paris, to local towns via public transportation. Is public transportation convenient for us to visit Provins, Chateau Vaux-Le-Vicome, Fontainebleau?
