Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 Does anyone know of a quick way to get from Haute Vienne (Limoges/Potiers/Angouleme/La Rochelle) to Salzburg in March please? Don't mind how we do it - just as long as we do!!Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianagain Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 If I had to make this trip I would probably choose to go by train - TGV to Paris and then on to Munich via TGV/ICE and then on to Salzburg (about 12 hours from Poitiers) - details in the db (deutscheBahn) websiteDriving would also take about 12 hours assuming there is more than one driver (check viamichelin)As for flying you could choose Ryanair via Stansted or Flybe via Southampton but timing and costs are up to you to research.Brian (again) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cendrillon Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 Probably not a cheap option but try this:-BA fly twice a day from Bordeaux (BOD) to London (LGW) and have direct flights from LGW to SZG.If you stop overnight at BOD take the early morning flight to LGW I think you could do the trip in a day and BA would book you (and your luggage) all the way through and take care of the connection. I haven't looked to see if there is a flight from Paris to SZG in which case you could take the train and then a flight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
User no longer member. Posted January 9, 2008 Author Share Posted January 9, 2008 Thanks for all replies. I usually fly Stansted when in UK so it looks like this is my best option, although Limoges to Southampton and Southampton to Salzburg looks good.
