Practical tips
Open the comparison table on this page and look at duration and price together. A slightly longer journey can save you a lot, and vice versa: choose based on what matters most to you that day.
In Nice, long-distance bus stops are not always in the same place. Read the exact address on your e-ticket and locate it on a map the day before, so you do not go to the wrong spot on departure day.
In Avignon, check where the bus drops you off, especially if you are connecting to a train or accommodation. Note the stop name and keep a backup plan to reach the city center.
The lowest fares go first, especially on weekends and during summer holidays. Book as soon as your dates are set and keep your e-ticket saved offline on your phone.
Avoid the last departure of the day if you have a connection or a late check-in. Arrive early at the stop with your ticket ready and an ID, in case it is requested.

How long to visit Avignon?
Plan 2 days for the essentials: the Palais des Papes, Pont Saint-Bénézet, the historic centre and Les Halles on day one, then the Rocher des Doms, rue des Teinturiers and the museums on day two. With 3 days, add a trip by public transport or car to the Pont du Gard, Les Baux-de-Provence or Châteauneuf-du-Pape.
