Our group of 6 is traveling from Paris to Avignon on May 1st.
A question I could use help with: when I go to look at times/fares (www.thetrainline.com) it shows many trains as already "sold out" and others as "not yet available" or just "not available". Am I missing something? Is there a better way to book?
Thank you!

On Trainline, It looks like the Frecciarossa trains are sold out, but Ouigo have not yet loaded their data. It's worth reading about Ouigo:

The SNCF site also has non-direct trains (7 hrs incl changes) wh1ch it says will be available soon.
1st May is a Friday and a public holiday, so there may just be great demand. Keep looking.

Thank you both - super helpful information. I see tickets generally don't go on sale until 4 months prior. And May Day - yikes! I think we will plan on heading to Provence a day early and backfill the extra day in Paris at the end of our trip.

For TGV INOUI, train tickets are available 4 months in advance. So you will just have to wait!
