Car Hire

To make the most of the area, a car is essential and makes transfers from the airport straight forward. Depending on the airport of arrival, these can be hired from the usual international companies such as Hertz, Europcar and Avis or local ones. The hire can be arranged either using your airline's preferred car hire company or direct with the hire company. You may also like to try specialist car hire agents such as Holiday Autos.

By Sea/Car/Train

For those wishing to drive the Millau bridge over the River Tarn (taller than the Eiffel tower) is now complete and makes the drive south much faster than before. Use viaMichelin (http://www.viamichelin.com) to plan your route. Ferry companies operating to the French channel ports include P&O Ferries, Sea France, Brittany Ferries or Hoverspeed as well as the channel tunnel with Eurotunnel.

Alternatively as a passenger on the TGV you can get to Montpellier or Avignon.
