Does anyone have any information on how to get from Montpellier to La Grau du Roi and then from there to Les Saintes Maries de la mer? Is there a bus service available?

Certainly look at the bus timetable on this page ---- the Number 106 goes to La Grau du Roi. But to get detailed times email the bus people for your day of travel : info@herault-transport.fr ?

There is a bus (106) from Montpellier to le Grau du Roi.

From Le Grau du Roi to Saintes Maries de la Mer you will need to take the train to Nimes, connect to Arles (by Train), and then bus to Saintes Maries.

Thanks for the info. I checked a map which suggested there is a direct route from Grau du Roi to Saintes Maries by road (39km). I don't suppose you know if there is a bus service that runs this route? The alternative seems like such a long way of going that distance.

If you are in Le Grau du Roi in either July or August, there are two daily direct buses to Sts. Maries de la Mer at 10h40 and 14h35:

September through June the longer route is the only way to travel between the two locations.
