Marseille Provence airport to Avignon
Marseille Provence is the airport covered here for reaching Avignon. The main choice is between a bus link to Vitrolles-Aéroport Marseille Provence station and an onward train, a direct coach if one matches your arrival, or a prebooked road transfer.

How each one works
Train: Airport bus link and regional train
Follow airport signs for the bus link to Vitrolles-Aéroport Marseille Provence station. Check for a train to Avignon Centre and buy the appropriate rail ticket through an official sales channel. Check whether the station bus needs a separate ticket.
Coach: Direct coach to Avignon
Check the airport's official transport information for a direct Avignon departure on your travel day. Confirm the arrival stop before booking, since Avignon Centre and Avignon TGV are separate stations. Buy through the operator and follow its instructions for finding the airport stop.
Taxi: Airport taxi or prebooked transfer
Use the official taxi rank or arrange a transfer with a confirmed pickup point. Give the full accommodation address and ask where the driver can stop if it lies on a pedestrian street. Confirm payment methods and the fare arrangement before departure.
Arriving late or leaving early
For a late landing, check the last airport bus link and onward train together, including time for baggage collection. If neither rail nor coach fits, arrange a road transfer or stay near the airport. For an early flight, confirm pickup and terminal details the day before.
Before you land
- Search for Avignon Centre when staying inside the walls; if arriving at Avignon TGV, check the short connecting train.
- Leave space between landing and a booked departure for passport checks, baggage collection and the walk to the stop.
- Confirm the final drop-off point before booking a coach or transfer, especially for accommodation on a pedestrian street.
