How to Find Claira

 

Claira is about 15 kilometres from Perpignan, with its railway station and airport, and  the village can be easily reached by bus or by taxi. 

It is recommended however that you have a car during your stay as it is much easier to reach the many interesting sites in the region and parking is easy to find in the village.

 


If approaching by car on the autoroute A9, take exit number 41, "Perpigan Nord",  and follow signs for St Laurent de la Salanque.  Shortly after passing the Carrefour shopping centre take the exit on your right marked Claira and follow that road into the village.

Coming from central Paris, or even Charles de Gaulle airport, the TGV fast train is an option. It can be taken from the airport, or from the Gare de Lyon in  Paris and it will take you to Perpignan in around five hours. Hire cars can be picked up & dropped off from the Perpignan station.

If flying into the region, Perpignan airport is 15 minutes from Claira and has connections with Paris Orly and the UK. 
 
Toulouse and Montpellier also make good arrival points and are both within 2 hours drive on the autoroute.  

Gerona, in Spain, which is within 2 hours drive of Claira, is also convenient for arriving & departing.
