Getting there:
AIR
The main airports are Nice (c90 minutes drive away), Toulon (c75 minutes but not many flights from UK), and Marseilles (about 2 hours). We recommend hiring a car from the airport and find that https://www.rentalcars.com/ is usually competitive.
TRAIN
The TGV, linked to Eurostar, passes within about 60 minutes drive to the house
You can also get the Eurostar from London St Pancreas to Marseille in 6hrs 45mins (including 1 change). https://www.eurostar.com/uk-en
DRIVE
It’s c1,100km between Calais and La Croix Valmer - which can be driven in just under 12hrs. Therefore most who drive split it up into 2 or 3 days. There are plenty of lovely places to stop / to stay on the way down. Please ask for a recommended route / trip.
