London and Paris to Avignon
Rail add-on to a Rhone River cruise: London, Paris, then Avignon.
London and Paris to Avignon is an independent rail package from Railbookers, built as an add-on for travelers joining a Rhone River cruise that starts in Avignon. Over 5 days and 4 nights, the trip begins with an airport transfer to a city center hotel in London, where travelers explore the city at their own pace. The route then continues to Paris, where the description points to art galleries, museums, and restaurants, before a train south to Avignon hands travelers off toward their river cruise. Because Railbookers runs this independently rather than as an escorted tour, it suits travelers who are comfortable planning their own days in London and Paris and just need the rail connections handled before their cruise begins.
