L'Alabrena – How To Find Us

By air

For international guests

When coming via Paris, you have the choice of two airports: Roissy Charles de Gaulle (CDG) (2 flights per day), and Orly (10 flights per day). The flight to Montpellier takes about 1h15. Flights from CDG to Montpellier leave from terminal 2D. This terminal can be reached from other terminals by a free shuttle service.

To transfer from CDG to Orly, take an Air France coach leaving every 20 min (transfer time 50min, about 12 €). If you arrive on an Air France or Continental flight, the coach ticket is free (ask at the Air France desk).

Car hire is available at all the airports listed. Guests are met at Montpellier Méditeranée or Béziers by arrangement.   

By train

By road

From Montpellier:

Take the Autoroute A75, direction MILLAU.
Exit Lodève and follow signs for the ‘Parc Naturel du Haut Languedoc’, direction Lunas/Bédarieux.
Follow the D35 to Lunas.

From Clermont-Ferrand:

Take the A75, direction Montpellier.
Exit Lodève and follow signs for the ‘Parc Naturel du Haut Languedoc’, direction Lunas/Bédarieux.
The route from Lodève climbs steeply and at its highest point you will see a turning to the right marked Le Caylar. Bear to the left here, staying on the D35, to begin the descent to Lunas.
You will pass two right hand turns, the first to Vasplonges le Haut, the second to Vasplonges le Bas then watch for a left hand turn to a little road that rises almost vertically. Take this steep left hand turn, marked La Dournie. This meandering little road takes you down to the Nize valley. There are signs marked  'Seminars'  to guide you down to the L'Alabrena.

From Béziers:

From the Autoroute A9 take exit 34 then follow the D13 in the direction of Pézenas and Bédarieux.
From Bedarieux take the D35 direction Bousquet d' Orb/Lunas to Lunas.

From Lunas:

L'Alabrena is accessed by crossing a medieval bridge over the river that flows through the centre of Lunas. On entering the village look for the church on the right hand side. As soon as you are parallel with it (still on the D35) you will see a fork that takes you down to run alongside the river. Take this fork and continue over the medieval bridge. Just the other side you will see signs to the Alabrena and Briandes. Stay on this road for 6km following ‘Nize’ signs and you will arrive at the L'Alabrena.
