Asked on September 15th, 2025Can I join the group in Avignon on Day 1 instead of meeting at MRS airport? If so, can you recommend the best route if I take the TGV?
Explore!Operator•Written September 2025From what we can see though, this tour does not offer any joining in Paris. You can absolutely join the tour at the start hotel in Avignon though.
