TRAVEL TO FRANCE FROM THE UK

BY PLANE

The nearest airport is Nice which is approximately 100 kms from St André. It is a major airport served my many airlines including British Airways and Easyjet http://www.nice.aeroport.fr

Marseille airport is slightly further away at approximately 170kms from St André and is also served by British Airways and Easyjet http://www/marseille.aeroport.fr

BY CAR

There a large number of ferry companies offering Channel crossings http://www.directferries.co.uk/ but Eurotunnel is the quickest way to make the crossing from Folkestone to Calais . The drive from Calais to St André takes around 12 hours if you use the motorways, whilst the scenic route is slower but much prettier.

The other option is to take the French motorail which transports you and your car overnight from Calais to Nice and it is then an hour and a half drive from Nice to St André. http://www.raileurope.co.uk/frenchmotorail/

BY COACH

There is a daily coach that travels to and from Nice airport to Gap stopping at St André en route. It costs around 12 euros for a single trip and takes around 2 hours. If your flight times work with the coach times, and you don't need a car while you are in St André, then this is a great option. Please contact us for a current timetable but the coach normally leave St Andre at 10.45am arriving at the airport at 12.30pm and the return journey leaves Nice airport around 3.20 pm arriving in St Andre at 5.00pm (NB: this service does not operate on a Sunday)
