TRANSPORTATION
Our wedding - ceremony, reception dinner and after party - will be celebrated at the Bastide de Puget in Meyreuil. The venue is located about 20min drive outside of Aix-en-Provence, the nearest city where you will arrive by train or car depending on your flight arrival location.
Please note as our venue is located outside of Aix-en-Provence, you will need to either rent a car or take a taxi to reach the venue and the hotel. We advise you to reserve a car early, especially if you require an automatic car, and to carpool with family or friends whenever possible!
​
Depending on your arrival date, you might decide to stay in Aix-en-Provence, the nearest and biggest city close to our venue. Please note that we will have rooms blocked at an hotel close to the Bastide for the night of our wedding. Further information will be communicated during the Winter.
​
Please do not forget to update passports, get an international driver's permit, as needed!
