Quick answer
Montpellier (about an hour by car) has the widest choice within about an hour, Nîmes (35 minutes) is the closest but small and seasonal, and Marseille (1h30) is the largest airport in the region. Pick up a hire car at any of them: there is no train station in Uzès or Sanilhac-Sagriès.
Best for most routes: Montpellier, with nonstop flights from London, Manchester, Dublin and Amsterdam, among others (October 2026).
Check before you book: airlines change their routes every season, and Nîmes in particular loses most of its lines in winter.

By TGV, or by air

Which flights land today?
We do not show live flights ourselves, because a stale board is worse than none. The airports publish theirs in real time: Montpellier arrivals, Marseille flights and Nîmes airport and its airlines. Your airline's app shows your own flight.
Planning rule of thumb: allow about an hour between landing and driving away (baggage and the hire desk), then add the drive. Check-in at La Valette is from 17:00 with a keybox, so a landing around 15:00 at Montpellier fits.
Why a car
A hire car is the practical way to reach La Valette: there is no train station in Uzès or Sanilhac-Sagriès, and the regional bus 152 between Nîmes and Uzès does not reach Sanilhac-Sagriès. The nearest TGV stations are Nîmes (30 minutes) and Avignon (38 to 40 minutes), both with car hire.
At some airports the hire desks are outside the terminal with a shuttle. Check the pick-up point and the desk's opening hours for your landing time, and book ahead for the dates you need.
Frequently asked
Airports and the drive
Nîmes-Alès-Camargue-Cévennes (FNI) is the closest, about 35 minutes by car from La Valette Boutique. It is small, with Ryanair as the only scheduled airline, so Montpellier (about an hour) is often the better choice if you want more flights to choose from.
Route planners put the airport at about 76 to 84 km and roughly an hour from the town of Uzès. La Valette Boutique, in Sanilhac-Sagriès, just south of Uzès, is also about an hour by car from the airport (roughly 75 km).
Yes, on Ryanair. In summer 2026 the lines were London, Dublin, Brussels Charleroi, Fès and Marrakech. For winter 2026-27 regional press reports that only Fès and Marrakech remain, with the other lines expected back at the end of March 2027. Check Ryanair for your date.
Marseille-Provence is the largest in the region (about 1h30 by car). Within about an hour of La Valette, Montpellier has the widest choice: 39 direct destinations in 17 countries and 14 airlines in summer 2026.
In practice, yes. There is no train station in Uzès or Sanilhac-Sagriès and the bus from Nîmes does not reach the village. A taxi or private transfer is possible, but a car also lets you reach the markets, the villages and the Pont du Gard.
Allow about an hour for baggage and the hire desk, then the drive: about 35 minutes from Nîmes, an hour from Montpellier and 1h30 from Marseille. Check-in at La Valette is from 17:00 with a keybox.
On the airports' own live boards. Montpellier has an arrivals page with real-time status, and Marseille and Nîmes publish flight information on their websites. We do not copy live data onto this page, because it would go stale.
No. There is no railway station in Uzès. The nearest TGV stations are Nîmes and Avignon, and the regional liO bus 152 runs between Nîmes and Uzès in about 40 minutes (timetable valid to 31 December 2026), but it does not reach Sanilhac-Sagriès.
