There are various directions in which you can come to Normandie, depending on your method of travelling and where you are coming from. Generally Paris features as the transit destination to which most of the internal and external country public transport centres on.

Our nearest railway station is Flers (61) about 2 hours from Paris. The station in Paris you need is Paris Montparnasse 3. Montparnasse is a large station, which from it’s entrance you need to allow, according to helpers, 10 to 20 minutes to hike through to get to the Montparnasse 3 platforms. For French rail info see http://www.voyages-sncf.com/

By arrangement we can pick you up and drop you off from Flers station, though only in the afternoons between 13:00 and 16:30.

Flying
Paris is served principally by the airports, Charles de Gaulle (CDG) and Orly. There is an efficient, low cost, shuttle bus network from CDG and Orly to the Parisian stations, Montparnasse being well served. You can get a discount by booking online. Visit http://www.lescarsairfrance.com/

Beauvais a low cost airline destination is some distance out of the city. We are advised there is a shuttle coach to Paris. More info on this would be welcome.
