Getting There

By Car

The extension of the A71/75 motorway passes within 5 minutes of both villas. It is quiet and toll-free south of Clermont Ferrand and is a marvellous scenic drive over the Auvergne. Drive time from Le Havre and Caen is 9—10 hours, but correspondingly longer from the northern Channel ports. (see www.viamichelin.com for route planning and times).

By Air

A large and increasing amount of choice. (Times are from Aniane. From Lezignan, Perpignan, Carcassone, Toulouse and Barcelona are closer, the others slightly further).
