EUROSTAR, the high-speed passenger service linking London and mainland Europe is launching a new direct service from London to three popular holiday destinations in the South of France – Lyon, Avignon and Aix-en-Provence
The new weekly spring service, which complements Eurostar’s existing Avignon services, is perfect for travellers looking to secure an early summer getaway. The service will be offered for a trial period during May and June 2013 alongside Eurostar’s existing weekly summer services to Avignon

Passengers who choose the new Lyon-Provence service for travel from 4 May to the 29 June 2013 will enjoy a direct non-stop journey from London St Pancras International to Lyon, Avignon and Aix-en-Provence
On the return leg, they will disembark in Lille to complete the necessary security and passport checks required for transit through the Channel Tunnel before re-boarding a dedicated Eurostar service to the UK
Return fares start from £99 for Lyon and £109 for Avignon and Aix-en-Provence in Standard class and £199 and £249 in Standard Premier respectively.
