Getting Here

About 5 km (8 mi) south of town, Aéroport Bergerac-Perigord-Dordogne (05-53-22-25-25) has more than 20 Ryanair and Flybe flights a week. Unfortunately, there is yet no train or bus service to the airport, so you have to take a taxi (05-53-23-32-32) into the town center. Transports Urbains Bergeracois (TUB05-53-63-96-97) is the urban bus service and costs €1 a ticket. Three bus operators leave the town for the surrounding region, Les Cars Bleus (05-53-23-81-92) going to Eymet on two alternating routes through Sigoules or Issigeac; Boullet (05-53-61-00-46) heading to Lalinde; and C.F.T.A. Perigueux (05-53-08-43-13) traveling to Bergerac. Every trip costs €2. Bordeaux has 13 trains (taking anywhere from 1 hr, 15 mins to nearly 2 hrs) daily that run through Bergerac and hook up with Sarlat (1 hr, 15 mins); the rail station (05-53-63-53-80) is on Avenue du 108e.
