How to get here

 

By train:

Direct TGV (High-speed) trains Paris-Arles (4h) or TGV Paris-Avignon or Nîmes + connection to Arles (2h40 + 30-40 minutes). Low cost trains (Ouigo) from Paris’ gare de Lyon and its outskirts (Roissy, Massy and Marne-la-Vallée). During summer, Eurostar runs trains from the UK to Avignon and Marseilles, where it is possible to connect to Arles (+40/50 minutes).

Mia Casa is a 20-minute walk away from Arles’ train station. The simplest route is to follow the banks of the Rhone river. This can be done on foot, or by Taco, a bicycle cab service that can transport you and your luggage, which you are advised to book (see www.tacoandco.fr). Of course, it is still possible to take a cab, but the journey by car is longer, as the cars cannot go all the way along the docks. Moreover, there may not be a cab waiting at the station.

By car:

Parking nearby, on the river banks (quai de la Roquette), boulevard Georges Clemenceau (note: restricted parking on Saturday morning), or avenue Sadi Carnot at the end of which, on the right hand side, there is a big parking.
