Getting there
By plane
Millau is accessible within a couple of hours from multiple airports. Rodez (RDZ), Montpellier (MPL), and Béziers (BZR) are the closest, although their international flight options are relatively limited. Toulouse (TLS), Marseille (MRS) and Barcelona (BCN), while farther, offer a broader range of flights to major European capitals and international destinations.
By train
Millau has a train station in the city centre, which is only a 15-minute walk from the whitewater course. The train schedules for Millau can be consulted on the SNCF website.
By bus
Millau is served by several bus lines that directly connect it to the nearest cities with airports: Rodez (RDZ), Montpellier (MPL), and Béziers (BZR). Reaching other airports requires at least two connections, using a combination of train and/or bus. The bus schedule can be consulted on the Lio website. For longer-distance travel, Blablacar Bus and FlixBus are both convenient options. In general, travelling to Millau by bus is one of the most cost-effective options. Bus transportation within Millau is free and can be consulted on Réseau Mio.
By car
Millau is easily accessible via the A75 motorway. If you are driving from the north toward Montpellier or Béziers, the recommended exit for Millau is number 45. If you are coming from the south toward Clermont-Ferrand, take exit 47. You may also choose to drive across the Viaduc de Millau, one of the tallest bridges in the world at 342 meters high and 2,460 meters long. While crossing the viaduct is subject to a toll, it offers a spectacular introduction to Millau before descending toward the town.
Parking
Millau is a medium-sized town, and it is very easy to reach the venue on foot or by bus. Four free 24-hour parking areas are available near the site (La Maladrerie, La Grave, Victor Hugo, Raux), and a footbridge provides direct access across the Tarn from the city centre.
