By car: A few weeks before the start date, we’ll create a WhatsApp group for those interested in carpooling. Plane: • Fly to Bergerac (30 minutes from us). We can arrange a transfer for the final part of the journey for an additional fee. • Alternatively, fly to Bordeaux Airport, which has many international flights. From there, take the tram to the train station and a train to Sainte Foy la Grande. A transfer can be arranged for the last leg of the journey. Transfer: A transfer is needed from Sainte Foy la Grande or Bergerac to our location. We collaborate with a local transfer service. Rental Car: If you plan to stay longer, a rental car is convenient as there is no public transport to our location. If you land in Bordeaux, a rental car is also a practical option.
