Côte D'azur (east) Hotel map and travel info

Holidays in Côte D'azur (east)

Getting there

Planes, trains, automobiles, or maybe even helicopter – we tell you the best way to go.

Planes
BA, Ryanair, EasyJet and Air France cover the regional airports of Nice (in the east) and Marseille (in the west) between them.
Trains
From London, take the train via Lille to Marseille; from Paris, board the TGV. The coast-hugging track from Marseille to Menton - stopping at Toulon, St Raphaёl, Cannes, Antibes, Nice and Monaco - is spectacular, in some spots putting you closer to the Med than a beachfront sunlounger.
Automobiles
Driving to the south coast can be a cross-country epic. Instead, put your car on the train courtesy of Motorail, retire to your couchette (cabin) and wake up in Avignon, Fréjus or Nice (see the Motorail page on www.seat61.com).
