Travel & Stay

By car

From Zurich, first come down to Geneva through the Swiss A1. Then, whether you come from Geneva or Zurich, we recommend taking the following french highways: A41, then A49, to join finally A7 (called the Autoroute du Soleil). Then, shortly after Orange, you can go for A9 and A54 or continue on A7 until Salon de Provence to then join A54.

Follow your GPS when you drive, it will always have the quickest route!

Parking recommendation in Arles city: Parking du Centre, located at Bd des Lices. Some hotels offer reduced price.

Attention: on Saturday, there is a market in Arles, so Bd des Lices is partially blocked. Do not park on the street on Friday evening, otherwise you car will be towed away!

By plane or train

There is a direct Swiss flight from Zurich to Marseille on Friday (12:25-13:50) and back on Sunday (14:40-16:05). 

There is a train station in Arles. The nearest TGV Stations are Avignon TGV and Nimes TGV. Lyon is also a good connecting station.
