Avignon TGV (IATA: XZN) is a railway station located in Avignon, Vaucluse, south-eastern France. The station was opened in 2001 and is located on the LGV Méditerranée high-speed line and Avignon-Centre–Avignon TGV railway. The train services are operated by SNCF. The station is located 6km south of the city centre.
Overview
This station has two platforms for trains calling at the station, with two through lines. This allows trains not stopping at Avignon to pass through at full speed, but away from passenger platforms.
This station, inaugurated in 2001, was designed by the cabinet of architecture of the SNCF under the direction of Jean-Marie Duthilleul and Jean-François Blassel. It has a 340 m (1,115 ft)-long glazed roof that has been compared to that of a cathedral.
On 15 December, 2013 a link line between Avignon's city station and Avignon's high speed station opened, with a regular shuttle service operating between the two.[1]
