Please note that taxi's don't really exist in rural France. They operate more as private chauffeurs and are therefore quite expensive and can be unreliable.

We would therefore strongly recommend staying in Cognac town to make use of the transport we have organised.

If you do want to stay outside Cognac, there are plenty of Airbnb's but we would strongly recommend having someone in the group that can drive on the night or ensure you check with the taxi companies for prices first.

We will be providing transport from the centre of Cognac town to and from the wedding venue on both the wedding day and for the pool party the following day.

The coaches will be leaving from Francois Premier roundabout in the centre of Cognac and dropping back to the same place at the end of the night.

If you wish to take advantage of the transport we are providing, you will need to be able to make your way to the pick-up point.
