We recommend the Paul Féval park-and-ride at the entrance to the town, near the Marville racecourse, open year-round (€3.30 per day, subject to change). In winter, the Express Féval shuttle does not run: keep your day ticket, which gives you access to line 2 of the MAT network from the Bois Herveau stop, 100 meters from the car park, to reach the town center.
