EUROSTAR/TRAIN

You can take the Eurostar to either Paris or Lille and then get a TGV (Train Grande Vitesse) direct to Poitiers. Lille is often the best station as the Eurostar arrives at the same station as the TGV (unlike Paris where you have to cross Paris to get to a different station). It is also possible to get a flight to Paris and then TGV direct to Poitiers.

Try www.eurostar.com or www.raileurope.co.uk

 

 

 

 

FRENCH MOTORAIL

Don’t want to drive the whole way, but want to bring your own car? The French Motorail travels direct from Calais to Brive La Gaillarde. It’s about a 2.5 hour drive from Brive to St Macoux.
