Bergerac

Bergerac’s airport, the Aéroport de Bergerac Périgord Dordogne, is situated around six km (four miles) from the city centre. Taxis can be found just outside the terminal building. A short journey to the Bergerac bus station costs about €20. If hiring a car, take the main exit out of the airport and follow the signs into the city centre – it is easily identified.

Bergerac is a small compact city and can be easily navigated on foot, which is the best way to see it. There is a good bus service run by the Transports Urbains de Bergerac (TUB). Timetables are displayed at stops and are also available from the bus station. Both the bus and train stations are located at Rue Neuve d’Argenson. Tickets for public transport can be purchased from the bus driver, the town hall, Municipal Caville Antenna or from the Antenna Municipal Naillac. Single tickets are valid for an hour. If travelling further afield, the rail network is run by SNCF.

Taxis are available from the airport and rail station, or by telephone.

Bergerac’s main post office is at 36 Rue Résistance, not far from the Place du Palais.
