Most major airlines fly to Paris. From there you can take Air France's domestic line to Marseille (45 minutes from Puyvert by car). From Canada, Air Transat has direct flights to Marseille in summer months. Alternatives are to pick up your rental car in Paris and drive down (about eight hours) or the take the Train de Grand Vitesse from the Gare de Lyon to Avignon, and pick up a car there. In Europe many lines fly directly to Nice (a two hour drive to Puyvert) or to Marseille.

Locally.......
Public transportation, by bus or rail, is good between the larger centers of Provence, and often surprisingly good between villages and cities such as Avignon, Aix and Marseille (at least one bus in the morning and one back in the late afternoon).

For exploring the countryside, visiting sites of interest, shopping in other villages or small towns and generally getting around without too much loss of time, a car is recommended. The most economical arrangement for a stay of three weeks or more is to rent a car on a lease-back plan from a company such as Renault. This can be arranged through your travel agent.
