How do I get to Le Village Sur le Roc
Answer
The Chateau is a five hour train ride from Paris and can be booked via www.Omio.com You can fly from Paris Orly Airport to Brive la Gaillarde which is about an 1.5 hour flight. You will need to search Air France for this flight as it will not show up on Google Flights. Upon arrival it is about a 30 minute drive to Chateau from airport. Car Rentals are available at Train Station Brive la Gaillarde stop or at the airport. In addition Toulouse airport and Bordeaux airport are options with a 2 hour drive after arrival.
Question
How do I rent a car in France?
Answer
I highly recommend renting a car for the Wedding Adventure. You will need an International Driver's Permit which can be obtained online or at your local AAA in addition to your local driver's license. Some car rental agencies may require a large hold on your credit card and a proof of address like a utility bill. Please double check with rental company for their requirements upon booking so you will have all the information required for rental. Make sure when you make reservation you designate whether you need an automatic car or a stick shift as automatic may not be readily available.
