Getting there

Train
One of the easiest ways to travel to Niolon from just about anywhere is by train. From London, zip across to Paris on the Eurostar (2hrs35), and then take a train to Marseille (3hrs). From there you can either take another train to the tiny Niolon train stop, a beautiful ride along the coast (~30mins.); or you can take a taxi (20mins.) You might in any case like to rent a car for your stay, available from Marseille train terminal. Visit www.eurostar.co.uk and www.sncf.com for tickets.

Plane
There are some increadibly cheap flights to be found from London to Marseille (~2hrs30). Check out British Airways and Air France, both fly from Heathrow. Easyjet flies from Gatwick. The very cheapest flights are probably with Ryanair which has a service from Stanstead to Nimes, about an hour's drive from Niolon. You can get discounts on car rental from Nimes with Hertz.

Car
If you're into visiting France on your way down, you can also drive of course. It can be done in one fairly long day if you take the motorways. However taking time on smaller roads, stopping to eat regional specialities on the way, is absolutely lovely and we recommend stopping somewhere around the center of France for a night. On www.autoroutes.fr and www.mappy.com you will find all you need for driving - maps, printable directions, weather and estimations on travel time, petrol cost and toll fares.
