All of these
airports have car hire should you wish to remain independent,
as most students do, in order to use the opportunity to explore
the region. However, we can provide a pick-up and return service
to Carcassonne, Toulouse, Perpignan or Montpelier only (costs
to be advised upon application).

through France. We are approximately 10 and a half hours drive
from Calais, and just over 8 hours from Paris, using the extensive
motorway network, and are only 10 minutes from the nearest
