From the Channel Ports you can, if
you wish, travel most of the way on the autoroute. We recommend leaving
the A20 autoroute south of Brive-la-Gaillarde at junction 53 taking
the N20 then N140 to Martel where you take the D703 to Bretenoux. Here
you join the D940 to St Cere. We will provide you with detailed directions
to Lacam D'Ourcet by post or email. For a comprehensive route map showing time, distance, toll charges and fuel costs visit the MAPPY website. If you want to break the journey or visit other parts
of France, Drive-Alive
Holidays offer you a full range of ferry crossings, although
you must book at least two nights' accommodation with them. Prices
are competitive and we have found their personal service excellent. Links to other useful sites including ferry operators and the Channel Tunnel are shown opposite. |

Our closest mainline station is at Brive-la-Gaillarde. There is a direct service from Paris Austerlitz station and the travelling time is approximately 4 hours. We recommend investigating pre-booking the rail ticket in the UK as it may be cheaper. The rail service is operated by SNCF. Car Hire (see below) is available next to Brive station and again pre-booking is recommended. The car journey from Brive is very pretty and takes just over one hour. We can arrange a pick-up from Brive station - please contact us for details of the cost. |
