For those of you who think driving through France is one big romantic adventure.....there are a number of options....
... one is the very small cruise holiday known as the channel crossing or for those who are aqua phobic and love to drive...the Euro tunnel

Coming by car ferry has as many options as France has ports...too many to list here ...for those who like cruising try Portsmouth - to either le Havre, St Malo or Caen, for those who prefer driving and less time at sea try Dover - Calais or Newhaven - Dieppe. We regularly use LD lines and find it good price wise, but more recently we have used the tunnel because of cost and reliability, (but it is then an 8 hour drive to La Perdrix, some like to stay in Tours en route.)

For those who have a bleaker image of driving through France there is always the option of taking the train, our nearest train station is Mussidan 20 km from La Perdrix, is between Angouleme and Brodeaux. Angouleme is serviced by the TGV can be a fast option from Paris, should you prefer to fly or train it to there.
Travelling when in France
Please note there is very little or no public transport in this area. There are taxis which are expensive need to be booked in advance as some are also ambulances... I kid you not.
So if you need transportation to and from the airport to your accommodation or would like to see some of the area while here it might be advisable to hire a car, all airports have car hire and have good rates with specific airlines. Or we can arrange for local people to collect and drop you off at airport or plane for a smaller cost. We will have two MPV's here to help with transfers but won't necessarily be available or able to do them all, so please check when you are booking you travel, so we can get it sorted early.
