TRAVEL
Bagneres de Bigorre has good travel links so take your pick as to the preferred method of travel. Note: travel costs are not included in the holiday price.
Fly: We offer a free connection to and from Pau airport (about a one hour's drive) on Tuesdays throughout the year. Ryanair operate low cost flights from Stanstead to Pau which we consider a good value for money service. On 16th May 2008 Ryan Air are introducing a new route from Bristol to Pau flying on Wednesday, Friday and Saturday.
Connections at other times or from Toulouse (easyJet from Gatwick) by arrangement. There is now a rail link from Toulouse airport to Tarbes and we could arrange a pick up from Tarbes station which is half an hour from Bagneres.
Check with your airline before booking with regard to the ever-changing situation with regards to carrying bikes.
Drive: If you have a group of three or more and an appropriate vehicle it can be as well to drive. We are about 10-12 hours drive from the channel ports, so with several drivers to share the load, an overnight stop may not be necessary. We have found the best routes are from Portsmouth to Le-Havre, Cherbourg, Caen or St.Malo. If you choose to use the fast and efficient Autoroutes expect to pay approximately 30 Euros in Toll fees.
Train: SNCF have a station at Tarbes with their own bus link to take you into Bagneres de Bigorre. More information will be available on this site as we acquire it.
