Getting to the French Riviera
There are several
ways of reaching the French Riviera; the most
popular lately is by air. Nice Côte D'Azur
(approximateky 35km away) is the nearest airport,
and takes 30 minutes to reach by car on the A8
Autoroute. You may also fly into Hyeres/Toulon
or Marseille but the journey time to Hotelair
is approximately 2 hours from these airports.

An alternative to flying or driving

Le Havre, so we would always recommend an overnight
