Travelling from Avignon to Montpellier... Elderly couple..?

Question

My folks (in their 80's) are flying to see my siblings in Montpellier.. problem is that can only get a flight to Avignon, and then have to somehow get to Montpellier... is there an easy direct way of doing it? How much would a taxi cost? Bus..? Easy to get to train station..

help!

Answer 1

Take a taxi to the train station. If they have problems, ask where the "information" office is located.

Answer 2

Montpiellier is about 100 kms from the Avignon Airport. they will need to take a taxi or private shuttle into Avignon and then take the TER (Regional Express Train) to Montpeillier. It is about an hour long train trip. The fare is 14.30 euros per person.

Answer 3

A taxi from the airport to the train station costs about 22 €. Have your siblings call this number for more info: 04 90 82 20 20

Otherwise there are buses connecting the airport to the station:

Then they will take a train from Avignon to Montpellier as described above:

If they are not concerned about cost, they can also get a private shuttle from the airport to their final destination:

Answer 5

The easiest way,,, Have your siblings rent a car for the day, and drive to Avignon to pick them up... It seems much more logical than having their parents do it on their own at their age.

It's less than an hours drive by tollway.

Other than this suggestion, I'd say Rillifane's is your best answer!
