| How do I get to Pra Loup? What is the best way?
By Plane: it is most convenient to fly to Grenoble (101 miles to chalet) or Marseille (110 miles to chalet).
Fly to Grenoble and hire a car. The availability of cheap
flights and car hire provides you with a stress free and inexpensive way
to be in control of your own holiday and not at the mercy of package
tour operators! Ryanair in particular seems hard to beat (discounted car
hire straight after you have booked air tickets on ryanair.com). The
beauty of the area almost necessitates the use of a car, you will want
to go exploring! Specifically Barcelonnette (15 minutes away by car) has
lots to offer, from stunning architecture to farmers markets, bars,
restaurants, and charming regional shops providing everything you could
wish for.
