Getting there

There are a number of options available for reaching La Teste de Buch from the UK.

FERRIES

For those people wishing to bring their own car there are plenty of ferry crossing points from the UK depending on which part of the UK you are travelling from and which is the most convenient port. Obviously travel times can vary quite considerably depending upon the time of year and from which French port you are travelling from. Examples of mileage from some of the most popular ports are given below:

 note: distances are approximate and are in miles.

AIR TRAVEL

If you do not intend to bring a car, or if you wish to hire one in France then this is a real possibility. British Airways operate regular flights from Gatwick and Birmingham to Bordeaux (Merignac) airport and Flybe operate from Bristol. The airport offers all of the usual facilities such as taxis and bus connections and the usual high street car hire companies operate from here as well i.e. ADA, Avis, Budget, National, Europcar, Hertz and Six-Euro Rent to name a few.

TRAIN

If you get sea sick or don't like flying then why not let the train take the strain! Take the Eurostar from London Waterloo to Paris Gare du Nord, this link maybe able to help you with travel planning: http://www.eurostar.com. Then there is the possibility of catching the TGV from Paris Montparnasse through to Bordeaux (or Arcachon on occasions). For train times it is probably best to follow this link http://www.tgv.com. There is an SNCF train station in La Teste a short walk from the apartment that runs between Arcachon and Bordeaux.

If you travel by train through to Arcachon and wish to take a hire car then across the road from the train station you will find Avis and a few kilometres further you will find Hertz car hire.
