To make things easier, we are arranging shuttles (navettes) from Parc de Résidence, Hôtel des Norias, and the town of Ganges to the venue and back.
🚗 Prefer to drive yourself? No problem! You’re welcome to do so. But if you’d rather fully relax and enjoy the evening, we’ve got you covered with transport back.
Let us know if you already know you’ll be driving so we can better estimate shuttle numbers.

🛫 Trips to the venue:
• 15:50 – Departure from Brissac (Parc de Résidence)
• 16:00 – Departure from Ganges (Hôtel des Norias)
🏡 Trips back (to hotels & Ganges):

Your presence is the greatest gift of all! 💕 We know it hasn’t been easy to organize travel, so please don’t feel obliged to bring anything.
If you really insist, we will gratefully accept small contributions towards wedding expenses and to finance a few gifts we've envisioned for ourselves (📷 treasures for James and 🏡 treats for me).
Most importantly, we’re just excited to celebrate with you! 🥂✨

Brief story of us
James and Liucija met in France whilst both travelling in vans, i.e. on an adventure.
Adventures, nature, sports, love for food and other ways to live a real life has not left them since !
On 4th of July, Elena was born and joined this lovely world full of excitement, to be enjoyed together with mum Liucija and dad James.
❤️
We are looking forward to meet you all together and celebrate our family
in a wonderful corner of France where we have settled !
❤️
How to get here
From Lithuania
Patogiausias būdas atvykti yra tiesioginis skrydis į Barseloną, o tuomet – automobilio nuoma kelionei iki pietų Prancūzijos.
Tiesioginiai skrydžiai į Barseloną vykdomi iš Rygos ir Vilniaus, tačiau ne kiekvieną dieną.
Patogiausias skrydis vestuvių savaitgaliui būtų šeštadienio rytą (balandžio 19 d.) iš Vilniaus į Barseloną.
Alternatyviai, artimiausi oro uostai yra Marselis, Béziers, Monpeljė ir Tulūza. Tačiau skrydžiai būtų su persėdimu, ir dėl galimos atšaukimo ar vėlavimo rizikos kelionė gali tapti sudėtinga.
From England
The most convenient flight would be London - Montpellier (1 hour drive from the wedding location). Alternative airports are Marseille (2 hours), Béziers (1.5 hours), Toulouse (3 hours).
