Transport to and from Charroux and Limoges

Hi everyone, I am hoping to soon be a part time resident near Charroux splitting time between UK and France with the family and dog. We planned to keep a car at Charroux but have a problem getting from Limoges Airport to Charroux. Does anyone have any experience of good value taxi firms or other suggestions?

Yes we do have a car in Charroux, when I was there last week it took an hour to get from Limoges to the house and about 1 1/4 hours to get back to the airport. I will try your suggestion of local inhabitants and see if that attracts any knowledge.

kindest regards

Aha so there are two! Suspected as much. I re-Googled and it's indeed closer, maybe a 4 hr round trip? I think my current schedule and working around school hours are going to stop me coming out to play though. Shame, because I could do with a day out away from this blasted computer.

Do you already have a car in Charroux? I'm wondering if you could rent one at the airport to get you home and then use the two cars to return it or arrange to drop it off somewhere more local? If it's a car hire chain maybe they have a branch closer to home.

Hi Valerie, I am grateful that you have taken the trouble to look at this for me. The Charroux I am referring to is approx 10KM east of Civray on the D148 in Vienne department. Does this help at all?

Hi Richard and welcome. I just had to Google map Charroux as I saw Limoges and thought perhaps I could help but unless there are two (which actually happens frequently) it looks to be about 3 hours each way from me. Sorry but a bit too far. Have you tried posting in your local "Inhabitants of ..." group? Vichy seems to be your closest large town so there may be a group for members in that area. Perhaps someone knows of a local car or taxi firm. Obviously if your Charroux isn't the one near Vichy, post on here - you may be closer than I thought!
