By car

Arriving by car, it is important to note that during high season access by car to the historic center is prohibited. The best option during those times is to unload luggage at the parking provided at the Porte St Jacques. From there you can reach Beilari easily by foot. It is only 200m. If you want to leave you car several weeks, authorities require parking in the Fauvettes parking lot close to the market.
