By Road:
If you are heading to us from the North, then you can come off the A10 Autoroute (motorway) at exit 35 (Saintes) and you are then 25 minutes away. This is slightly quicker and cheaper (toll) than continuing to exit 36. However, you can continue to exit 36 (Pons) where you will find a Leclerc supermarket, should you wish to buy some food before you arrive.
From the South, you should come off the A10 at exit 36 (Pons) and you are then 10 minutes away. From here you will pass the Leclerc supermarket at Pons should you want to do a quick shop.
Once in Saint Seurin de Palenne you're home and dry - we are on the main road that runs through the village, approximately 70m from the Mairie (Town Hall) on the same side of the road.
Eurotunnel -
Eurotunnel is our preferred route from the UK.
The journey from Calais is approximately 770kms on predominantly dual carriageways and motorways, with tolls (allow around 75 euros each way - quickest is to pay by credit card). The journey, non-stop, takes approximately 7 hours.
We normally allow 10 hours for the journey aiming to stop three times, once for lunch with a coffee / comfort break either side of lunch and an extra hour for possible incidents ‘en route’.
By Ferry
The port of Calais is approximately 770kms away (7:00 hours non-stop),
The port of Le Havre is approximately 660kms (5:15 hours) away, Caen is around 520kms (4:45 hrs) and St Malo 440kms (4:15 hrs).
By Air:
Bordeaux and La Rochelle (seasonal opening) are both around 1 hour - 1:15 hours away with easy access to either the Autoroutes or Routes Nationales. There are also airports at Limoges (under 2 hours away), Poitiers (1:30 hours) and Bergerac (2:30 hours).
By train:
The TGV stops at Angoulême. The station is approximately 50 minutes away by car. The LGV links Paris to Bordeaux with a journey time of just over 2 hours. There are SNCF stations in both Cognac & Saintes which are around 20 mins from us, by car. There is a small railway station in Pons, on the Bordeaux - La Rochelle line (Line 17) but the service to Pons is limited to about 7 - 10 trains per day.
