Hi I'm new here.
I'm flying to Bordeaux Merignac and geting the airport bus to Bordeaux St Jean, getting the train to Saintes and changing trains to get one to Royan. I'm hoping to book this via Rail Europe website. Has anyone got any advice re the airport and the stations, is it easy changing trains at Saintes? Never travelled via train in France before, I don't speak much French. When I get there I'm hoping to get a taxi to St Georges. Does anyone know if there are taxis outside Royan station and if I can get one easily or do they have to be booked over the phone.
Lots of questions I know but I'd really apreciate it if anyone had any advice or tips.

So Bordeaux to St Georges (outside Royan) seems to be do-able then,oh I forget to mention this is on a Sunday. Flight gets in about 11.30 and train from Bordeaux is 2.15 ish. Information regarding Saintes is helpful - looks like can't go wrong there! Just heard some iffy stories about Bordeaux station; watch your bags, etc.
Never thought of asking the station staff to call taxi at Royan - have to get practising that phrase now!
Thanks a lot for your help Blanche. Nice to have such a positive reply so soon.
