Can anyone suggest ways of getting from La Rochelle airport to Fontenay le Comte (with price guides) please?

Thanks

The TER WEBSITE is quite useful.  I don't know the part of the world of which you speak, but a search on there did get me from La Rochelle town to FLC - I guess one could get a cab from the airport to the station?

Thanks for the reply.

As a matter of interest what is TER?

There's a bus from the railway station at La Rochelle to what was once the station in Fontenay. And there are buses from the airport to La Rochelle station. I'm trying to recall who runs the service - I think it is Cap Vendée. But it's about eight runs per day and from memory costs €12. I've used the service a few times.

Taxi's are very expensive. Slightly cheaper if you get one of the licenced bandits from the Vendée to come South rather than using a local Rochelais firm, but still I doubt you'd get a lot of change from €70.

Trains run from La Rochelle to Luçon and from Luçon there is a bus to Fontenay. That's quite cheap too.

Thanks Cooperlola, I'd already looked at the TER site which involved a bus & a train. Then Riff-Raff mentioned the bus only journey with Cap Vendee and I was referring to that when I wrote that I would look for the website.

I've also found a website, SNCF, that do bus trips from La Rochelle to Velluire near FlC, so that's another option.
