Travel to Languedoc

Given the wide range of travel options, our standard package prices do not include travel. The principle options are as follows:

Self -drive

Languedoc is located around 9 hours’ drive from Calais, and therefore this travel method would be most suitable for long trips of a week or more that combine other regions, such as Champagne, the Loire Valley, Bordeaux or Burgundy. Please contact us for crossing prices with Eurotunnel or P&O Ferries. If you would prefer to travel from an alternative UK port, we can often arrange this. Please contact us to discuss your preferred route and applicable supplement.

Eurostar (and onward rail from Paris)

Carcassonne is around 7 ½  hours from Paris by train and overnight trains operate between these destinations. Grape Escapes can book your Eurostar and TGV travel for you if you wish and the definitive cost of your Eurostar travel can be confirmed 120 days before you travel, when the tickets are released. Train prices increase as the departure date nears so early booking is recommended. Please contact us to request a detailed information sheet with hints and tips for obtaining the best-priced tickets.

Carcassonne airport is around 10 minutes’ from the city centre by taxi, which should cost around 12 Euros per way. There are direct flights from London Stansted, Liverpool, Bournemouth, East Midlands, Glasgow Prestwick, Cork and Dubin however some of these are seasonal services.
