The question is rather moot.

There are no reasonable bus connections between Avignon and Nice AFAIK, and long-distance bus is not a common way of travel in most of France.

Thanks - for your thoughts. I will have a car while in provence, so I am now thinking of just exteding our rental agreement and drive to Nice.

Actually I meant that you only have train connections, which are rather good - just no buses.

OTOH until the high speed line is completed to Nice (don%26#39;t hold your breath...) you can drive it in about the same amount of time it would take you by train if you take the fastest route, about 3 hours. Alternatively you could make a day of it and explore some interesting places and wonderful scenery along the way, either inland or along the coast.

Hi there - thanks for the info - Its more resonable for us to drive to Nice - I plan on driving to the airport and them taking the bus which will drop us off in walking distance to the hotel.

You have been such a geat help in the past and I could not of organized this trip with out your ideas.

We plan on staying in Paris for 4 days, then take the train to Avignon and drive about for 5 days, then do the drive to Nice and stay for another 4 days on the coast. We wrote back a while - I was planning an anniversary trip for husband and I. Now its just details.

merci
