Getting Around Provence
By Bus or Train: Public transit is good between cities and decent to some towns, but mar-

minutes between each).
From Avignon, you can bus to Pont du Gard.
By Car: The region is made to order for a car, though travel time between some sights
will surprise you—thanks, in part, to narrow roads and endless roundabouts. The yellow
Michelinmaps#332(LuberonandCôtesduRhône)and#340(Arlesarea)areworthconsid-
ering; the larger-scale orange Michelin map #527 also includes the Riviera. Avignon (pop.
110,000) is a headache for drivers. Arles (pop. 52,000) is easier but still challenging. Be
wary of thieves—this is France's worst area for car break-ins. Park only in well-monitored
spaces and leave nothing valuable in your car.
