Travel

We completely understand that traveling to a destination wedding requires substantial planning and may not possible for everyone. Our hope is that if you decide to join us in France for our wedding, you can enjoy a lovely vacation as well! Here are some details to help you plan your trip. Don't hesitate to reach out to us if you have questions or want help coordinating travel with other guests!

Travel Note

Travel Documents

If you have U.S. passport, you won't need a visa to enter France. Just make sure your passport's expiration date is at least 6 months after your arrival date.

Flight

Nice Côte d'Azur Airport (NCE)

This international airport is about a 1.5 hour drive to the venue and a good option if you also want to check out the French Riviera. There are also direct flights to Nice from NYC, Philadelphia, and Atlanta.

Flight

Marseille Provence Airport (MRS)

This is the closest international airport - about 1 hour drive to the venue and the neighboring town Cotignac. However, there are no direct flights to Marseille from the U.S. If you are connecting directly from the U.S., make sure to leave enough time (at least 2 hours) during your layover!

Flight

Toulon Hyères Airport (TLN)

This is the closest domestic airport - about 1 hour drive to the venue. If you are choosing to fly in from another European city, such as Paris (ORY), this is another option to check.

Train

Train between Paris and Marseille

There is a direct train route running between Paris and Marseille that takes about 3 hours. We recommend booking your tickets in advance.

Train

Airport and train station transfers

You can book airport and train station transfers to Cotignac through Moov83, online or at +33 6 79 43 67 75.

Rental Car

Renting a car

Renting a car is the easiest way to get around the south of France. There are some affordable options if you book in advance through a company like Auto Europe or Car Rental 8. For short trips, you can use a U.S. driver's license to rent a car. While not required, you can easily get an international driving permit online through AAA’s IDP application. If you are planning to rent a car, we recommend allowing toll roads on your navigation system. You can pay the tolls with a credit card or ask your rental car provider about an e-toll badge.
