La Belle Ancienne

International airports are within easy driving distance to Assignan - Carcassonne (45 minutes), Montpellier and Perpignan (1 1/2 hours), Toulouse (2 hours), and Barcelona (3 hours). Also, there is an excellent railway system (SNCF) with TGV connections (super-fast trains) from Paris and beyond to Beziers and Narbonne (both 30 minutes from Assignan).
Almost as much as in its railways, France prides itself in a good road system, making the south of France accessible in a day's drive from the northern Channel ports. And now, thanks to the recent completion of the Millau Viaduct (an amazing, unique structure and tallest bridge in the world, linking Clermont-Ferrand to Beziers via the A 750 spur), the drive is conveniently smooth and direct.
