Getting to Le Moulin
( formerly Tapovan - see picture!)
We are just outside the village of Cubjac , 120km from Bordeaux International Airport, and 90 minutes from Limoges and Bergerac, each of which have a RyanAir airport. view map

From Limoges, Bergerac, Bordeaux or Paris, there are trains to Perigueux, from where you can either take an infrequent local bus, a taxi, or we can usually arrange to collect you for a fee. You need to request a pick-up beforehand.

By Plane
There are three international airports to chose from. Bordeaux is farthest away but has the most international flights. Limoges airport and Bergerac airport are closer and have flights from Ryanair. Limoges is the best option if you are flying from the UK. From these airports you then need to get to Perigueux - by train is the best option from Limoges and Bordeaux and by bus from Bergerac.

Bordeaux - Plane and Train
Bergerac - Plane and Bus

Note:  We advise to come to Limoges airport rather than to Bergerac, because the transport is much easier from Limoges than from Bergerac - and we cannot arrange pick up from Bergerac airport.

By Train
If the environmental consequences of plane travel concern you then taking a train is the best alternative. Fortunately a fantastic new website born out of this concern now exists that integrates all the european rail services - please see www.seat61.com.
There is a train station in Perigueux (see www.SNCF.fr ). A local line also connects Bordeaux with Perigueux, Limeyrat and Brive la Gaillarde. Once at Perigueux you can catch a local bus to Cubjac or you can take the local train to the village of Limeyrat. Limeyrat is 8 km from Cubjac so it is possible to walk (takes about 1.5 hours through beautiful countryside) or you can call us and we will come and pick you up for a charge of € 10. Trains leave regularly and often from Bordeaux St Jean to Perigueux. The train from Perigueux to Limeyrat goes once a day at 18:02 Monday-Thursday and 18:46 Friday and Saturday and takes about 20 minutes.

Please be aware that all the timetables below are only valid until early July (after this date times may vary slightly so please check your travel using the www.SNCF.fr site which includes track repairs.

If you understand French a bit, the French version of the version is much better for local trains:  http://www.ter-sncf.com/aquitaine/index.asp
