I would recommend that you come by car or at least hire one if you fly. The adjacent departments: Vaucluse, Bouches du Rhone, Ardeche and Heraut, all have many interesting sites and are easily accessible by car because of Frances excellent road network, which usually has very light traffic.There are many flights to our region if you decide to fly and drive: Ryanair flies to Nimes from Luton and Liverpool (daily).
