Practical information > Getting there

in Here is some additional information to organize your trip. (Transport costs are the responsibility of the participants)

Arrival by plane at Hyères airport. This is by far the best option. There is no direct public transport from the airport to the La Tour Fondue pier and it is best to take a taxi. The journey takes about 10 minutes depending on the traffic. The price is around 25 €.

Arrival by plane at Marseille airport. This option is less convenient. Take the bus from the airport to the train station "Marseille Saint-Charles" (bus operate every 10 minutes) and the trip takes about 25 minutes. Then take a train (TER) to Hyères

(fill in the form of the website with departure "Marseille (FR) (Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur Region)" and arrival at "Hyères"). Once arrived at Hyères, you can either take the bus (line 67 direction Giens/Tour Fondue) or take a cab to the La Tour Fondue pier (the journey takes about 15 minutes depending on the traffic. The price is around 35 €).

Crossing La Tour Fondue - Porquerolles: It is better to arrive 30 minutes before the departure of the boat to buy the tickets. It is not possible to buy tickets in advance.
