I'm traveling solo, from Marseille airport to Avignon Center. Can anyone tell me how the trains are marked or what help might be offered at the Marseille station so that I find the right platform and the right train? I speak no French, and am unfamiliar with French trains. Also, My ticket says "no reserved seat". I assume that's because I'm on a regional train?
Thanks for any help...

There is a board listing all the trains like what you see at the airport. Like this image:

The word "Voie" indicates what platform the train is on.
They usually post the track number or "voie" on the board 20 minutes before departure.
The train number and time will be on that ticket.
You have a Regional (TER) ticket which means sit anywhere.
