There
are four nearby airports served by the low
cost airline Ryanair www.ryanair.com, the
fast TGV train service from Paris; www.tgv.com,
and the uncrowded Autoroutes so reaching Marseillan
couldn't be easier....
DRIVING
From the north coast of France the driving
time to Marseillan on the Motorways is approximately
10 hours. Remember to take plenty of breaks,
it is recommended that you stop every 2 hours.
The speed limit on the French motorways is
130 kph (80 mph) unless the roads are wet,
when the limit is 110 kph (65mph). The tolls
on the Autoroute will vary depending on which
route you take, but you can expect them to
cost around £60 (90 Euros) each way.
These can be paid with a credit card, which
makes it quick and easy at the barriers.
From Calais, for instance, we suggest going
via Reims and Troyes, Lyon, Montpellier. From
Le Havre or Caen take the western route round
Paris then follow signs for Lyon and Montpellier,
and exit at junction 34 marked Agde.
Once
out of the toll barriers, take the second
exit at the roundabout, direction Bessan,
then first right to Bessan. Drive into the
village, over railway, over one set of lights
and at the second set of lights take left
turn marked “centre ville”. Drive
into the town and take the left hand turn
signed “Marseillan”. Once in Marseillan,
follow signs for the centre, and get as close
to the Church as possible before parking.
FLYING
With several low cost airlines flying into
the small friendly airports in the South of
France from London and the journey to Marseillan
need not cost much or take long…. We
recommend Ryan Air, and it is easy - it's
a little cheaper to book these on the Internet
(www.ryanair.com).
They fly into Montpellier,
Nimes,
Perpignan
and Carcassonne,
and each of those airports is about an hours
drive from Marseillan. British Airways also
fly into Montpellier from London Gatwick,
and we can arrange reasonable fares with them,
but not usually as low as Ryan Air.
For Car Hire – we recommend you
hire a car, at least for part of your holiday,
and this can be arranged by us with Europcar
at competitive rates. Please do not hesitate
to ask for a quote.
Another alternative is train, and we can quote
for Eurostar and beyond, or Motor Rail.
If
you are looking for overnight accommodation
en-route we can recommend the hotel group
that includes the Formule1 and Premiere Classe
hotels. For a list of their locations their
