There are many options for you to choose from to get to us. Where are we ?
Local Map:This is a map of the hamlet of La Verrerie. Click on it to zoom out and show all the local roads as far as the town of Sauxillanges. This map is an excerpt from IGN map number 2632O "Issoire" which is available at many local shops including Carrefour in Issoire. It's an ideal map for exploring the neighbourhood on foot, bike or by car. By Car:You can bring your car across on the Channel Tunnel or by ferry and then motor down to us. It should take you approximately 8 hours from Calais so you may wish to take an overnight break at one of the many Campanile or ETAP hotels on route. Further information and booking is available at any of the links below
Channel Tunnel By Train:With the availability of a train service direct from Waterloo to Paris why not consider the train as an option. You can change at Paris to connect with a high speed service to bring you direct to Clermont Ferrand or Issoire. Once there you can pick up a hire car.
Eurostar Bookings By Air:Ryainair have discontinued their flights to St Etienne, sadly. There are now a number of airports all approx the same distance away - and much nearer but with no "cheap" flights, Clermont Ferrand. Air France and BA both serve Clermont, the "regular" price is around £400 but cheap deals as low as £150 have been seen! For cheap flights, RyanAir and Easyjet routes as follows (note - distances and driving times as given by Mappy.fr, and are the "fastest" routes to Issoire.) Clermont Ferrand - 25Km - 30 mins. Air France, BA. (Repeated rumours of RyanAir "soon"). Lyon - 227Km east - 2h35 (motorway route) - Easyjet - Stanstead, Gatwick. Grenoble - 324Km east - 3h30- Ryanair - Edinburgh, Glasgow, Liverpool, East Mids, Birmingham, Stanstead, Bristol, Dublin, Kerry, Brussles, Stockholm. Limoges - 275Km north west - 2h55 (motorway) - RyanAir - Edinburgh, Liverpool, East Midlands, Luton, Stanstead, Bristol, Bournmouth. Rodez - 210km south (all motorway) 2h20 - Ryanair - Standstead, Dublin.
