Flight Suggestions

Neither SETE, your starting city, nor ARLES, the city where the journey ends has an international airport. Your best two airport choices for arrival and departure are either Montpellier (MPL) or Marseilles. (MRS).

If you are travelling from a major city in the the U.S., to either of the cities in France, you’ll usually have a 1 stop flight with the first stop being a European hub. Travelling from a smaller city is usually a 2 stop flight, with the first stop being a major city in the U.S and the 2nd stop being a European hub. Departing from another country?…check your flight options.

Below, are approximate distances, times and cost.

As you can see, there are several convenient options for getting to the barge and returning to the airport at the end of our journey. Keep in mind that one-way flights, arriving into one airport and departing from another, are often comparable in price to traditional round-trip tickets, so it’s worth exploring that possibility.

Both Sète and Arles are extraordinary destinations in their own right…rich in culture, history, and unforgettable experiences. Sète offers vibrant waterfront promenades, colorful markets, superb seafood restaurants, and a lively arts scene. Arles, with its Roman amphitheater, charming old town, world-famous Van Gogh sites, and abundance of galleries and cafés, is a cultural treasure.

You may wish to arrive a day or two early, stay after the journey, or even enjoy time on both ends of your adventure. These cities provide a beautiful opportunity to relax, explore, and immerse yourself in the magic of southern France.
