Grab your bags, exit the gates of Saint-Etienne Airport (EBU-Saint-Etienne - Loire Intl.), and pick up your rental car. Which one you grab the keys to depends on where you plan to go. If you’ll be spending a good deal of time driving in downtown Saint-Etienne, around 7 miles from the terminal, opt for something small and zippy. A compact car that’s easy to maneuver will be ideal for those busy streets. But with a smorgasbord of things to see, like the striking impressive rock formations of the surrounding region, there’s a good chance you’ll rack up those miles. A larger vehicle, like a full-size car or an SUV, will make longer road trips a joy.
