French trains are very comfortable and reliable and this can be quite a relaxing alternative to flying or driving.
NEED FOR A CAR
Please be aware that we advise that you have a car with you during your stay at Le Pech, due to the secluded location. Although just a short and pretty drive away from local amenities, there is no public transport running directly from the house to local towns. However, getting around by car is straightforward, with a good network of roads which are generally kept in a good condition.
