The nearest airports are at Bergerac and Bordeaux, but Poitiers, La Rochelle and Limoges are also possibilities, variously serviced from Bristol, Southampton and London Stansted in the UK by low-cost airlines Ryanair and Flybe, and from Amsterdam by Basiq Air.

The TGV from Paris or Lille (connecting with Eurostar from London) stops at Angouleme. By road we are about 7 hours from the cross-Channel ferry port at Caen.

Detailed directions to the Manoir will be given on booking, but as a guide we are about 30 minutes from Perigueux, 45 minutes from Angouleme and 90 minutes from Bordeaux by car.
