Ryan,
Harord has given you excellent advice.
My daughter & I took this train, but in reverse, Annecy to Avignon Centre & also purchased the discounted tickets you're referring to. As far as I know, there's no direct train traveling this route, but you can choose the train route that requires one change, instead of two. If you'll chose this route, you'll transfer to a TGV train at Valence Ville.
Make sure you take a picnic lunch or a snack, as it's a long trek, but the scenery is nice and the train ride is comfortable.
Here is the explanation on 100% Prem tickets, from the SNCF.com website:
100% Prem’s fare means discounted 1st and 2nd Class TGV tickets.
It is available for some trains (France only) with all seats at Prem’s
fares (the lowest prices), especially the first trains in the morning
and trains at night during the following periods:
Weekends: between Thursday lunchtime and Sunday evening During school
holidays: on off-peak train services
These tickets cannot be refunded or exchanged. If you took out
insurance when placing your order and are unable to travel, you must
cancel your tickets on our website and send your claim for
reimbursement to the insurance company.
Annecy is a gem, our favorite place in France! :-)
Hopefully you'll experience one of their market days, they're superb!
We arrived on a Saturday, and enjoyed browsing through their antiques street market, then on Sunday we had our fill at the farmer's market...And... On Tuesday, there was another market!
Make sure you try the ice cream at Glacier des Alpes, it's creamy & delicious!
If you need suggestions as to where to eat a nice meal, without breaking the bank, send me a PM.
Have a wonderful trip!
P.S. Edit to add...
