Which train to Paris is more scenic?

I am taking a trip to Arles, taking the train through Avignon on the way down.
On the way back, I'm trying to choose between that one that routes again through Avignon, or the stop through Nimes.

Anyone experience them both and have a thought to share about which journey is most lovely?
I'd like to dream out the window as the countryside rolls by.

Very little to see, and the train from Avignon and the train from Nimes follow the same route to Paris.

It goes a bit fast to dream, but if you buy 1st class, you can choose your seats so choose top deck if you want to look out the window.

In case you want to know about seat direction, we don’t know which seats will be facing forward. But if you buy “duo face à face” seats, two of you traveling together will be across from each other and can change seats and directions half way.
