Flight

Marseille Provence Airport

Marseille Provence Airport (MRS) is southeast of the venue and the closest international airport. A train from MRS to the Gare D’Orgon (nearest train station) is about 1 hours 15 minutes, then about an 8 minute taxi ride to the venue. If flying into MRS, we recommend renting a car from the airport and finishing your travels with a roughly 40 minute drive to Orgon.

Flight

Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport

There are numerous direct flights to CDG daily from the United States, which makes it an excellent choice for starting your French travels! From CDG (or Orly), you can easily grab a connecting flight to MRS or take the TGV (high speed train) south. If you are getting a train directly from the airport, we'd recommend giving yourself at least 3 hours between landing time and when you have your train booked, especially if you think you’ll want to get something to eat/drink in the airport or have checked luggage. This will give you enough time to get through customs on arrival, grab any bags from baggage claim, walk to the train, and grab a bite before getting on the TGV to Avignon!

Train

Trains (TGV and TER)

TGV and TER Train Tickets: [TGV is the high speed train, and TER is the standard regional train line] If you’d like to experience the French countryside by train: You can fly into Paris (CDG or ORY), then take the TGV to Gare d'Avignon TGV (~ 3 hrs), then another train from Avignon TGV to Gare d’Orgon (58 min), then about an 8 minute taxi ride to the venue. You can also rent a car at the Avignon TGV station (which is what we are doing) after your train ride and finish the 45 minute trip to the venue by car. You can get your tickets via the below link. We recommend checking prices starting about 6-8 weeks out to make sure you’re getting the best price. The closer to €50 each way, the better the deal. We recommend finding a TGV train that is non-stop from Gare De Lyon (in Paris proper) or CDG (airport station) to Avignon. Some have WiFi, but not all, so if that’s important to you, check the icons when booking.

Rental Car

Rental Cars

We highly recommend renting a car to get around the French countryside. As long as you have Google Maps, its really very easy to navigate. Be sure to specify automatic transmission if needed, as the default is often a manual. There is plenty of parking at the venue. If you’d like to experience the French Countryside by Car: You can fly into Paris, then rent a car and drive the 7-8 hours (depending on what time of day and which airport) to the venue. You could stop in Lyon on the way and experience the gastronomical capital of France! If flying into Marseille, you can rent a car directly at the airport and finish your voyage with a 40 minute car ride to the venue. You can also rent a car directly at the Avignon TGV station if taking the train in from Paris.

Travel Note

Taxis

Once you’re in Orgon or the surrounding area, if you want to make your way into town for a beverage and discover the region’s delightful wines, the area is serviced by independently owned taxi companies. Feel free to ask the venue or hotel to help you arrange a taxi ride. You can also simply Google "Taxi Orgon France" and find one that way! Your best bet is scheduling one in advance.
