N.B. PARIS OLYMPICS 26th July to 11th August
Our favourite trips from London are via the overnight ferry to St Malo, then a drive down to Cubertou via Bergerac. Also comfortable is flight direct to Bergerac and then a hire car from there to Cubertou (1hr drive). If coming by train your destination will be Monsempron Libos, which is 15 mins drive from Cubertou. There is no car hire from ML and no Taxi rank, you would need to arrange a Taxi in advance.
It’s best to do an internet search with ‘cheap flights to Bordeaux’ or ‘cheap trains to Monsempron Libos’ and you’ll get lots of options. Seat 61 , Rail Europe, Eurostar, Captain Train and The Bahn are sites for train travel that have been recommended.
Two Together rail card is useful if you book your travel early and are travelling with another.
Ryanair, Jet2, EasyJet, Flybe and British Airways offer flights to Bergerac, Bordeaux, Toulouse and Carcassonne.
For both train and air travel there are early booking discounts and occasionally late booking discounts, but in general it is advisable to book early. We also recommend taking out travel insurance in the event of you having to cancel your trip.
