Easier to get here...

New roads and air routes make it easy to get to Languedoc
It is certainly getting easier and quicker reach your holiday destination in Languedoc, south of France. The new A75 autoroute has made such a difference for people arriving by car, bypassing the town of Millau and the horrendous summer traffic jams (4 hour jam was the summer norm). Now the journey takes in the Millau Viaduct, the highest bridge in the world, designed by Lord Norman Foster.

The autoroute currently ends at Pézenas, but work continues to make the final destination a join-up with the A9 at Béziers (completion date given as Spring 2010). This makes it easy for people travelling to any of the coastal towns such as Vias, Valras Plage or Cap d’Agde, even those travelling further to Argeles-sur-mer and resorts near the Spanish border.

In addition, the number of flights into the area continues to grow, bringing holiday makers to the south of France sunshine. Last year Ryanair added Béziers to the number of destinations from the UK, and this year will start flights from Edinburgh to Carcassonne. More and more passengers arrive at Carcassonne with nearly 500,000 passengers in 2008. Current Airlines and flights include:

British Airways
Toulouse: London

BMI
Perpignan: Manchester

Easyjet
Montpellier: Gatwick

Carcassonne: Cork, Shannon, Dublin, Liverpool, Bournemouth, East Midlands, Stansted, Edinburgh, Brussels
Perpignan: Bristol, Birmingham, Stansted, Brussels

All this makes it so easy to pack and get to you south of France holiday destination.
