Nice to Avignon Train

Been looking toward buying a train ticket to Avignon from Nice. I noticed that the price seems to be the same whether I bought it for travel a week from now or 90 days from now. Yet, there is a big difference when purchasing Avignon to Paris in advance.

Does anyone know whether the 3 hour trip from Nice to Avignon is considered to be some sort of regional fare and not subject to discounts for advance purchase? Thanks.

We went Arles to Antibes and my notes say regional, TER. We had to switch trains in Marseille.

The high-speed train used to go from Paris to Nice, but from Marseille to Nice it definitely was not at high speed -- the roadbed and tracks were older and could not support the extra stress. Still a nice train. As with all train questions, it's worth consulting www.seat61.com
