Transport & Mobility
Although in the countryside, there are quite a few options for getting around.
By Car
Obviously the easiest. A few things to consider.
Make sure you have registered your car for emissions, especially if driving through or around Bordeaux.
Car-hire is available at Bordeaux and Bergerac airports. You can also hire cars are Bordeaux’s St-Jean train station and at Libourne train station.
A relatively new option is to hire a car from L’Eclerc, for fabulously cheap prices, you just have to get there.
For petrol stations near to Magnolia, see this separate page.
By Bike
We have a number of bikes at Magnolia, see this page.
The tourist office in St Foy le Grande also rents eBikes. See this page for more details.
By Train
There is a reasonable train service from St Foy Le Grande to Bordeaux, taking just over an hour, one train every two hours.
The top-tip is to take the train to Sarlat, takes about 1 hour and 20 minutes, one train every two hours.
Use the SNCF Connect website/App to check times, buy tickets etc.
By Taxi
There are a few taxis in St Foy le Grande, there is also a lady in Gensac that provides a taxi service to Bergerac airport for about €60. Her name is Sophie, she speaks English and her number is +33 6 07 90 67 99.
