TRAVEL BY RAIL
Worried about carbon emissions? Eurostar and Rail Europe will bring you all the way to the Charente. Routes are either via Paris or Lille, with connecting trains to the Charente. (London - Lille requires just a change of train in Paris, London - Paris requires a change of station.) Ruffec is on the main Paris to Spain main line and there is a TGV (fast train) link with Paris daily. The journey is quick! As there are more daily trains to both Poitiers and Angouleme, it is best to choose one of these destinations and then drive the final short distance from there.
Rail Europe: Eurostar:
Maybe you don't like flying, or are concerned about air travel's contribution to global warming. Or perhaps you just prefer real travel by train or ship, where the journey is part of the adventure... Either way, The Man in Seat Sixty-One will tell you how to travel overland comfortably & affordably where you might think that air was now the only option.
