TO GET TO UZES:
- Uzes
is well-connected by road: The two major autoroutes (motorways)
are the A7 from the North and the A9 going East West). It is possible
to drive from the channel tunnel or the ferry terminals in Northern
France, down to Uzes in a day, but we prefer to break the journey
and stay a night en route someway in the middle of France. For information
on crossing the channel, go to www.eurotunnel.com, or www.brittany-ferries.com

are serviced by the TGV fast train service from Paris. Paris can be reached
in under 3 hours from both stations. During high season, there is a direct
train service from London to Avignon which avoids changing stations from
