A layover in La Môle is one of those happy accidents of air travel. La Môle Airport sits just 60 minutes from the city center by Taxi, and even a short visit can be surprisingly rewarding. This guide covers everything you need to get out of the terminal and back in time for your next boarding call.
Important Details Before You Go
Stepping out of the airport during a layover takes a little preparation. Here’s what to keep in mind at LTT:
First, verify that you can enter France — visa requirements depend on your nationality and can change. Second, know your timing: the Taxi takes about 60 minutes into La Môle, so add that up for the round trip plus security buffer. Third, have your payment sorted — EUR is the currency here. Cards are widely accepted in most places, but carrying some EUR in cash is a good idea for smaller vendors.
