Once you reach the town of Oradour-sur-Glane where does the memorial begin?

Hi Are there any companies that hire out coaches in the area I have around 30-40 people arriing at the airport for my wedding and we would like to hire a coach for transfers to and from the airport. Many thanks

Hi First of all, THANK YOU to all those on this site who take the time and trouble to answer questions so brilliantly! I know I have asked before about this but I am getting very, very confused. We want to travel to Sarlat from Paris and back again in late September 2011. The hotel we will stay at suggests getting to Souillac by the TEOZ train and then having a hotel transfer from there. I have asked our travel agent without much success - they seem to think that going by train would require a few changes of trains and are suggesting we go by bus but are very unsure about any of it themselves and don't seem to want to pursue the matter (even tho we would book through them out of courtesy and have spent a lot of money with them in the past). Help, help, help! There must be an easier way – I have tried looking at the train sites but as I said earlier I am getting confused.

Is Orly Sud the same as Orly? Can I catch the Air France Coach 3 to Charles de Gaulle from Orly Sud?

I'll be traveling from Brive-la-Gaillarde to Charles de Gaulle on July 27. There doesn't appear to be a nonstop TGV on that day, so we're talking 6-7 hours on the train. Should I drive to Toulouse and fly? If I choose to fly from Brive to Orly, how much time (and money) will it take me to get over to CDG? Thanks in advance.

Could someone please advise if there is a direct bus rather than the train between Limoges and Paris. If there is I'd appreciate a link and/or the cost of fare.

Hi all, We're heading over to Europe for a quick 2-week vacation, finishing with 5 days in Limousin/Correze. Neither of us has ever been in this region--though we both know it's exactly the kind of thing we'd enjoy--but we've done a lot of research on food, lodging and places to see. So how does this itinerary sound? Day 1: From Paris, drive south of Limoges (3-4 hours?) and stay in Ségur-le-Château or someplace nearby. Day 2: See the area, then drive a little further west, perhaps a little into Aquitaine, and then back east to stay in in Verteillac (found a nice B&B). Day 3: See the area and head down through Perigueux to Bergerac, and then head east to stay someplace near the Caves of Lascaux/Sarlat-Le-Caneda area (Lalinde, Les Eyzies-de-Tayac, etc). It would be nice to time it so that we were in Sarlat on the Wednesday to see the market, right? Day 4: See the area, and make our way east to Correze--perhaps just SE of Brive (Beynat, Argentat, etc.). Found many B&Bs here. Day 5: See the area around Beaulieu-le-Dordogne, Rocamadour, etc., spend the night someplace around there, or head further SE into Correze? Day 6: Head back up towards Paris, perhaps Bourges, Vierzon, etc? No idea what is in this area, but we need to be close to Paris for our flight the next day! Would more time in the Correze/Dordogne be better than hanging around [what appears to be] a more touristy area around Limousin/Perigord? We'd prefer off-the-beaten track stuff. Any comments&info would be greatly appreciated--thanks!!
