Holidays in Languedoc-Roussillon and Provence

Getting there

Planes
Regular flights zip to Montpellier from all major UK cities, and Ryanair operates flights to Nîmes from Stansted, Luton and Liverpool (www.ryanair.com).
Trains
There are speedy TGV links with Paris (the journey takes about three and a half hours). Convenient stations include Arles, Avignon, Carcassonne, Marseille, Montpellier and Nîmes (www.tgv.co.uk).
Automobiles
You’ll definitely want one if you plan to explore the region, although if it’s a short city-break you have in mind, you’re better off on foot within the old towns such as Nîmes and Uzès: swaths have been pedestrianised, and one-way ruelles are maddening for motorists. For a jaunt to the coast or the countryside, hire cars or mopeds are a good alternative to the bus network.
