Maison Brives
Brives sur Charente
Getting here
Thanks to the twin benefits of low-cost airlines like Ryan Air and the advent of the Eurostar,
travelling anywhere in France from the UK is not difficult or too time-consuming. The French
domestic rail network SNCF is highly subsidised and reliable.We have sketched out some pointers but do use the further information links below.
By ferry and car
Brittany Ferries operates a service from the Poole and Portsmouth in the UK to Caen, Le Havre, Cherbourg or St Malo which is a four hour drive by car to Maison Brives. You can also take ferries to Calais, and Boulogne, then drive via Rouen and Poitiers to the Charente. There is space for at least 4 cars to park at the side of the house. Also Ferries from Irland.

Ryanair: from London Stansted to La Rochelle and starting in the Spring to
Angouleme from 99p single, excluding tax. Prices vary from British Airways
but you have more airport flexibility from around the UK to Bordeaux and Angouleme.Or, for those with their own private plane, why not arrive in style at the local Pons airfield!

By train
Take the Eurostar to Lille, then switch to a TGV service continuing as far as Angouleme then finally to Cognac. Either pick up your hire-car or a taxi to Brives-sur-Charentes. The journey by Eurotunnel/Eurostar to Calais is fast and the remaining distance is by motorway nearly all the way to Saintes.
