I will spend 5 days in Avignon and would like to visit nearby small towns I can reach by train or bus. Can I get to Aix en Provence? Which small towns would you recommend ( I am a photographer) that I can reach via bus or train? Thanks so much for your ideas....

From Avignon, by train you can easily reach Arles, Aix-en-Provence, Nimes. and perhaps Orange. Just about anywhere else will require bus travel which is not terribly convenient for tourism. Many locations have only one or two buses a day. There is good bus service to Pont du Gard, St. Remy, and Cavaillon, but reaching places such as Les Baux, Gordes, Vaison-la-Romaine, Roussillon, or Venasques will not be a simple affair.
One really needs a car to fully explore Provence.

Other places that you can visit by train from Avignon include Cavaillon, Salon de Provence, Isle-sur-Sourge, Tarascon. I also went to Ales and Aigues Mortes by train while I was in Avignon for a similar length of time last year. Aix you can reach either by regular trains by changing at Marseille or on the TGV although both TGV stations are outside the cities. There will be plenty to keep your camera active.
