Reminder: Bergerac Airport closure, Brive option
DON'T forget, if you use Bergerac Airport to reach the Dordogne region then it is closed for three months from Monday, 9 January 2012.
Runway work is to take place with the closure set to last until 23 March, however, if you do need to reach the region then CityJet are to offer two flights a week between Brive Airport - Vallée de la Dordogne and London City Airport.
The flights operate Friday and Sunday, with the first one taking off on 6 January and running through until 23 March.
Flight times:
London City Airport to Brive Airport
Friday: 11:45 - 14:20
Sunday: 16:55 - 19:30
Brive Airport to London City Airport
Friday: 15:00 - 15:35
Sunday: 20:00 - 20:35
Hello Craig,
I have been aware of the cheap flights available from City airport toBrive for some time, but I have not yet taken advantage of them due to my concerns about transport links not being available from Brive airport to points along the Dordogne, eg.,Lalinde, towards Bergerac. If anyone knows of a regular coach, bus or train service that is available, I would like to know about it....perhaps it could be added to the bulletin to do with the closure of Bergerac and the necessity to use Brive ?
Thanks.

Hi Hilary,
I'm afraid there is only the option of a taxi, providing a link to Brive itself, or to Sarlat for onward rail connections.
Otherwise it is a hire car from the airport for further travel.

Just to let you know that the railway line from Sarlat is also closed through the winter to enable the SNCF/Colas to do more work upgrading the line, the rail service has been replaced by busses/coaches.

Many thanks for that Tony.
