THANKS to two Irish entrepreneurs, the most distant part of France in now one of the easiest to reach, at least from Dublin.

The trick is to take a flight, not to France, but to Girona in Spain.

This city of 71,000 souls had a modest little airport until recently. Then an Irish budget airline began using it and the airport, you might say, took off. It now has connections to over 80 destinations.
