Reach the Languedoc... By car |
You can reach
the Languedoc by car via the following motorways:
|
| The A7-A9 via Lyon/Valence,
Orange and Béziers |
Taking the A7-A9 via Lyon/Valence, Orange and Béziers
is the best route should you be coming into France
from the north east - or heading for the eastern side
of Languedoc - the departments of
the Gard or Herault.
|
| The A75 via Clermont-Ferrand
and the Millau bridge |
Taking the A75 via Clermont-Ferrand and the Millau
bridge is an excellent route for those traveling from
the UK and Ireland. It's the shortest route to the
Languedoc region, and offers spectacular
scenery along the way. You'll also not have to pay
tolls after Clermont-Ferrand.
|
| The A62-A61 via Bordeaux,
Toulouse and Carcassonne |
Taking the A62-A61 via Bordeaux, Toulouse et Carcassonne
is the best route should you be coming from the west
of France, and heading for the western
regions of Languedoc - such as the
departments of the Aude and Pyrenees-Orientales.

Reach the Languedoc... By train

Thalys or Eurostar, journey times really aren't that far behind
those of airlines. The closest stations to our office are
Montpellier, Beziers and Narbonne. Traveling
to Montpellier gives you greater choice in terms of arrival
times. For more information, visit:
