Carcassonne Travel Forum

Hello, I will be travelling in June arriving in Carcassone around mid day and need to get to Fayence, could you give me some advice/help on how to go, will be using public transport,how far or approx. how long will it take.
Many thanks,

can you not fly to a closer airport like Nice? have you looked on the map? I am assuming it is Fayence in Provence?

Thanks for the reply, although it is not really helpful, it is all down to cost, and flying into Carcassone, it far cheaper for me.thanks,

Ok. By public transport I reckon you get to Carcasonne Gare (train station) from the airport using the shuttle bus. ( €5 I think) then from Carcasonne you need to take trains to reach St Raphael which is on the Provencale coast. You can find out the route and place to change train using this :

Likely to take between 5 and 6 hours.
Then at St Raphael you will need to take the bus to Fayence. http://www.transports.var.fr
you can find some bus times on here. You want route 031. This route takes around 1 hour and quarter.

there may be other bus routes to reach Fayence from towns near to Carcasonne i.e. to the west of St Raphael, like Toulon, but you need to study the timetable and the maps.
