Nouvelle-Aquitaine is highly connected through modern transport networks.
* **Rail:** The LGV Sud Europe Atlantique (high-speed train line) connects Bordeaux to Paris in just about 2 hours. The regional TER network efficiently links smaller cities and rural departments. * **Airports:** The primary international gateway is Bordeaux-Mérignac Airport. Regional airports in Biarritz, Limoges, Poitiers, and Bergerac serve domestic routes and low-cost European carriers. * **Highways:** A robust autoroute system includes the A10 (linking to Paris), the A62 (to Toulouse), and the A63 (running down the coast to the Spanish border). * **Public Transit:** Bordeaux features an extensive, modern tram network. Other major cities rely on comprehensive bus systems. * **Active Transit:** The region is a paradise for cyclists, featuring the Vélodyssée—a dedicated cycling route that runs the entire length of the Atlantic coast.
