About Salazac in Provence Gard, Provence - Cote d'Azur

There is so much to do in the area; the Mediterranean coast is just over one hour drive (to either side on the Rhone towards Marseilles or Montpellier. On your way, you would pass through the Camargue National Park, famous for its pink flamingo's and white horses. The Cevennes National Park to the west of the house is also well worth a visit for beautiful scenery. Avignon, Nimes, Orange, the Pont du Gard are all within 40 minutes by car. The breathtaking underground caverns at Orgnac are only a few kilometres from the recently discovered Chauvet caves. Other activities which draw people to this area are fishing, walking, horseriding.

On different days of the week you can visit the excellent bustling Provence markets with their wonderful local produce (olives, goats cheese, fruits, asparagus, seafood) and of course go wine tasting with Chateaneuf-du-Pape only half an hour away).

How To Get To Salazac in Provence Gard, South of France and the Riviera

The area easily accessible from three international airports: Lyon ( 2 hours' drive), Marseilles and Montpelier (both just over one hour) and from the TGV (high speed train connecting with the Eurostar from London and Ashford) at Avignon, Montpelier or Valence.

Air France holidays and British Airways Holidays offer attractive fly-drive deals in particular for 4 people.

Car hire is also often cheaper when organised from England and the Company I have used the most frequently is Budget.

Motorail provides a service taking you and your car to Avignon from Calais (car and adults from £410 return and each child £41).

Otherwise, after crossing the Channel, the drive from Calais is approximately 8-9 hours (all motorway if you wish) and for those wishing to make a break in the journey, I can offer ideas for wonderful hotels in the fantastic Burgundy/Cote d'Or area (approximately 4 hours from the house).

See Local guide and map for information on nearby towns and airports.
