Orignolles is close to the N10 major road and half an hour away from the A10 Paris-Bordeaux motorway, with Paris being 550km away. We are about 60km from Bordeaux, Cognac and Angoulême.
Bordeaux-Mérignac airport is 45 minutes away. People coming from England with a car can drive through the tunnel, but it is a long drive and ferries to St Malo, Caen or Bilbao can be much more relaxing with a 4 to 6 hour drive after leaving the Ferry.
If you are coming by car, don't forget to leave some space for the cheap excellent wine you will no doubt wish to take back.
