How to get there
By Air There are daily connecting flights from Paris to the regional capital Bordeaux and Toulouse, direct regular flights from London and many smaller UK airports. A number of no frills airlines fly to regional airports such as Bergerac, Rodez, Carcassonne, Bordeaux, Toulouse etc.
BY ROAD The superb French Autoroute (Motorway) system makes driving here as easy as you could hope for. The main Motorways to this region are the A10 (from the north to Bordeaux), the A20 (from Paris via the A10, A71) to Toulouse and the A62 (from Toulouse to Bordeaux). The journey from Calais to Bordeaux is about 560 to 590 miles and should take around 8 hours. We are about 580 miles from Calais/Le Havre and 430 miles from St Malo. Cherbourg extends the drive by 2 or 3 hours. You can avoid the Peripherique at Paris by taking (from Charles de Gaulle Airport) the A 86 & A (& N) 186 and the A10 direction Bordeaux. The A 10 divides at Orleans where we recommend taking the A 71 (direction Vierzon and Toulouse) and then the A 20 to North or South Cahors.
BY RAIL Eurostar runs via the Channel Tunnel between London and Paris (Gare de Nord) in 3 hours. Paris is linked to the high speed rail network (TGV). Departures for Aquitaine are from Gare Montparnasse station. Taking the train from London to Lille avoids the need to change stations in Paris. There are TGV connections to Bordeaux and Toulouse as well as to Agen, which is the nearest station to our properties. There is a car train to Brive, which is less than 2 hours from the area. The Motorail service (car on the train) runs from Calais to Toulouse throughout the holiday season and from Paris (Austerlitz) to Toulouse during the rest of the year including the night train with either Couchettes or wagon lits.
