 To Drive or Fly?

For those of you who have to travel a distance ( and that'll be most of you... )  the big question is whether to drive or fly....
For those whose preference is flying  the nearest airport is Bergerac 55 mins from La Perdrix.
Bergerac airport operates flights with  with the salubrious airline Ryan Air from Bristol, Luton, Stansted, East Midlands and for the more exotic of you Marrakech.

As many of you will be travelling from Wales please note the Bristol flight runs on Tuesdays Thursdays and Saturdays...which is why we have planned the wedding for Wednesday so you can make a quick turnaround if needs be.
Watch out for sales on the site...the prices can vary hugely!

Ryanair also runs flights to Bordeaux airport 1 hour 20 mins drive from La Perdrix...this will suit those guests coming from Ireland...as there is a flight directly from Cork, which has been recorded as the nosiest flight in history.
There are other airlines which operate to both Bergerac and Bordeaux... to access their sites please click on the carrier that best suits your location and social class!

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

Picture
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.

I was looking at your getting here page. I hope to come on a guitar retreat next year to La Perdrix. I would be coming from Canada so flying into Paris. The TGV seems to go to Montmoreau. Is there a closer train station to you? Who would you recommend to book for a ride the rest of the way? I saw one website that said there was a bus from Brive, is that true? I would like to book this as I think it is filling up already, but need to know if I can actually get there first. :) Thanks for your time, Mel

Hello Melody,
Thank you for your interest in the guitar group.
The closest city is Bordeaux and it is a fast train from Paris. There are then two options getting from Bordeaux. Then there is a train to Mussidan which is not far from Riberac.
Please email me directly if you need any further information.
Kind regards
Johnny
