Allons-y en Provence!

When we decided to have a destination wedding, we fell in love with the idea of a summer wedding in a place combining our shared love of coastal cuisine, delicious wine, and stunning scenery. We can’t wait to share the beauty of Provence with all of our favorite people!

 

How to get there

As you start to make your travel arrangements, please make sure your passport is up to date. Its date of expiry must be at least 6 months beyond your travel dates.

  • This is our preferred method of travel to the region. Gare d'Avignon TGV is about 20 minutes from the venue.

    • If you're coming from Paris, we'd highly recommend taking the high speed train down (more info here). It's about 2.5 hours from the city center, or 3 hours directly from Charles de Gaulle Airport.

    • If you're coming from elsewhere in France, you may also take a train to Gare d'Avignon Centre, also 20 minutes from the venue.

    • Direct trains from London, Geneva, Barcelona and Brussels also available.

    Car rentals (Avis, Europcar, Hertz, Enterprise/National, Sixt), Ubers, or taxis are also available from both train stations.

    *Summer train tickets are now available to book.

  • The closest international airport is Marseille Airport. Getting from Marseille Airport to Avignon is about an hour via train to Gare d'Avignon Centre or an hour via car directly to the venue.

    For more flight options, we’d recommend flying in through Paris Charles-de-Gaulle Airport and then taking the train from there.

    For airfare into Europe from the US and back, it’s recommended to book roundtrip tickets rather than book separate one-way routes.

  • Car rental services (Avis, Europcar, Hertz, Enterprise/National, Sixt) are available at Gare d'Avignon TGV.

    Exit on Northbound Highway A7 Avignon or Southbound Highway A7 Orange.

Accommodations

There are many hotels and bed and breakfasts in the surrounding area but we’ve narrowed down a few options for you below that should meet different travel needs and preferences. Shuttles will run to and from the locations below for our wedding day (please note that shuttles will not be available on Tuesday or Thursday). You can book a room directly through the links provided below. All options have also been added to our recommendations map here.

If you choose to stay in an Airbnb (we’ve curated a list here!) or another property not listed here, please note that you will be responsible for securing transportation to and from the venue. When we visited Avignon last year, we found that taxis and Ubers are generally available in the area but sometimes can take a little more time arriving to pick you up than you’re used to in major cities, so please budget a little extra time.

Château Gigognan

Chem. de Castillon, 84700 Sorgues

A traditional French bed and breakfast, situated in the heart of a vineyard with wine tastings and cellar tours available on site!

Approximately 5 mins from the venue.

* This is a very small property; limited availability. In your booking request please mention that you are booking for the Taslim/Choi Wedding.

Novotel Avignon Nord

135 Av. Louis Pasteur, 84700 Sorgues

A newly updated hotel with a restaurant, tennis courts, and pools. We suggest this choice if you plan to rent a car and visit nearby towns, as it offers easy access to main roads and free parking, though it's not very walkable.

Approximately 10 mins from the venue.

Hotel de Cambis (Avignon)

89 Rue Joseph Vernet, 84000 Avignon

We enjoyed our prior stay in this chic hotel in a historic building with modern amenities in central Avignon. It's ideal for those taking the train to Avignon and exploring on foot between celebrations.

Approximately 25 minutes from our venue.
