From Paris:

Eurostar to Paris Gare du Nord, transfer to Paris Montparnasse, then follow the Paris route above.

From any of the nearby stations, taxis can be arranged to the château (10–15 minutes away).

Google maps schedules are not accurate, we recommend you check the SNCF website instead.


Traveling by plane

Bergerac Airport (EGC) – 45 minutes from the château
Mostly serviced by flights from the UK and regional French cities.

Bordeaux Airport (BOD) – 2 hours away
Serves major international destinations.

Toulouse Blagnac (TLS) – 2 hours away
Serves major international destinations.

From both airports:
We recommend renting a car at the airport.
Alternatively, you can take a train from Bordeaux to Le Buisson or or Siorac-en-Perigord, then a short taxi ride to the château.


Ideas of where to stay

The region has options in nearby villages but all require a 5-15min car ride and book out early. There are very very few taxis available in the area, so we will help organize transport to and from the wedding venue from Saint-Cyprien. We therefore really recommend booking either in Urval or in Saint-Cyprien. Saint-Cyprien has a train station which will allow guests without a car to be within walking distance of Hôtel de l’Abbaye and Hôtel des Augustins.
