BY AIR/RAIL (via PARIS): You can travel to La Croix du Reh quite cheaply using a combination of air and rail, which allows you to stop off in Paris en route. EasyJet offers a number of daily flights to Paris from Luton, arriving at Charles de Gaulle airport Terminal 3, which is a short walk from the RER railway terminal for services to the Gare du Nord. Stop off for a break in Paris or take the Metro to Austerlitz. The Metro (Underground) connection to Austerlitz is easy and you do not have to change lines. Take Line 5 in the direction of Place d'Italie and it's seven stops to Austerlitz (Returning, you take direction Bobigny).

British Airways offer a several daily flights from London Heathrow airport as lower as £79 return, inclusive taxes. Also British Airways are flying to Paris from Manchester, Birmingham and Bristol.

Worth knowing: Terminal 3 at Paris Charles de Gaulle has been adapted for use by the low-cost airlines and has fewer facilities than Terminals 1 or 2. It used to be called Terminal 9 and not all the signs or information details have yet been changed, so don't be confused. Terminal 9 means Terminal 3.

The Paris Metro is much cheaper than the London Underground, but it is an old system and showing its age. There are usually many steps to negotiate, even though you do not have to change trains, and if you are elderly, infirm or are carrying heavy bags you might be advised to take a taxi between Gare du Nord and Austerlitz.

The French national rail network SNCF operates direct trains to LIMOGES from PARIS AUSTERLITZ. The journey takes almost exactly three hours and many services are non-stop. Trains are going to LIMOGES from AUSTERLITZ as often as every 1 - 1.5 hour

Worth knowing: French trains are very smooth and comfortable and are generally more punctual, yet cheaper, than comparative services in the UK. They are consequently very popular and we advise you to reserve your seat in advance if possible.
Austerlitz is a terminus station so there should be plenty of time for you to find your seat, but on your return - if you have reserved a seat - check the plan for your particular train at Limoges station, which corresponds to lettered sections of the platform, before your train arrives so that you know whereabouts to stand to be nearest your carriage.
Even if you have not reserved a seat, you will know where to stand to be next to a first or second class carriage.
