Travel

OHP is located in a rather isolated area, about 100km north of Marseille. Most of you will land at Marseille Marignane International Airport or arrive by train (TGV) at Aix-en-Provence TGV railway station. 

You can rent a car there, but there are also bus shuttles that will transport you to Manosque (either from the airport or from the railway station: http://www.info-ler.fr/doc/ficheshoraires/2014-2015/fh2015web/ler-26-2015.pdf, 1:30 hour travel, 5 round-trip / day). Manosque is 15km from OHP and an OHP driver can pick you up there. It is more convenient that you stop at Manosque SNCF rather than Manosque Gare Routière. In any case, inform us so the driver will know where to go. We will organize this service sunday 4th afternoon, also saturday 10st afternoon, if some of you may arrive earlier or leave later. 

You will find here general informations on how to reach OHP by air, railway, bus or car.  And if you are lost, feed your GPS with OHP coordinates Longitude = 5° 42' 44" E and Latitude = +43° 55' 54"  ...
