How easy is it to get to Provence?
Well, it is now super easy and fast! The British holiday-makers' unrelenting passion for France, particularly Provence has attributed to the decision by Eurostar to extend the direct six-hour summer service from Ashford to Avignon by two weeks (28 June -13 September), with a permanent service from 2015. This region is becoming ever more easily accessible with flights available to Nimes, Avignon, Marseille and Montpellier.
