EATING OUT IN FRANCE OVER 10% CHEAPER FROM JULY 2009

It is worth considering when planning your holiday this year that coming to France may be less expensive than you think. Apart from petrol being cheaper than the highs we have seen; and the great offers available from ferry companies and airlines, your meal in a restaurant will cost you less in euros. From 1 July last year the TVA (VAT) reduction from 19.6% to 5.5% came into force.

For the uninitiated and budget conscious, look out for signs to an Auberge (country Inn) they often offer better value, a superior cuisine and a friendlier service compared to that fancy restaurant which catches your eye. Appearances can certainly be deceptive when choosing where to eat in rural France; if you venture through the rather shabby door of a restaurant in a small town you may be pleasantly surprised at the warmth of the welcome and the high quality of the inexpensive menus on offer. What is more you certainly will not leave the table still hungry, the portions will be more than ample with the greatest challenge being how to still have room for pudding. Before you decide to grab lunch in a fast food restaurant, convenient though it is, compare the price of your pizza or omelet and chips with the menu of five courses (usually with a carafe of wine included) in that small restaurant with the rather unprepossessing exterior.

LOG FIRES, COUNTRY WALKS, GREAT FOOD! WHY NOT RELAX IN THE MAGICAL DORDOGNE THIS SPRING.

 

Personal Chef Service - Whilst on holiday in the Dordogne, why not treat yourself to a gourmet meal prepared by your own personal chef. For more information on a personal chef service please contact Karen:

Tel: +33 (0)5 53 35 01 99 or karendempsey2002@aol.com

If you are thinking of travelling by train to the Perigord Noir or The Perigord Blanc remember that there is now a direct train from Lille (without changing stations) to Brive la Gaillarde. Brive is about 15 minutes from Terrasson-see map below. Hertz offers car hire in Brive but you will need to take a taxi (cost 6/7€) to pick up your vehicle.

Dordogne Regional Information

The Brive-Souillac Airport will open 15th June 2010 : Official News Update 22.02.2010 details: Living in the Dordogne

The TGV (which isn’t really a TGV ??) between Lille and Brive-la-Gaillarde came into service 9th December 2007. Notably this train service connects to Paris-Charles-de-Gaulle airport and Eurostar at Lille without changing stations. What bliss, no more frantic journeys across Paris between Gare d’Austerlitz and the Gare du Nord to connect to Eurostar. Read more and view the timetable: Living in the Dordogne

 

Believe it or not we have low cost public transport in rural France. Here in the Dordogne a terrific trans-urban bus service is available to us. Launched in September 2006, TransPérigord established 10 regular bus routes traversing the Dordogne at a fixed fare of 2 euros a journey. The fare can be even cheaper than that: 10 journeys cost 14 euros and a monthly season ticket costs 40 euros. During the year 2006-2007 this service was used by 60000 travelers. This bus service, used together with a complementary service known as TAD, (transport à la demande), means that we can now travel from our doorsteps (well we may have to totter down the path) to all points of the Dordogne. With advance notice, the Commune transport service will transport you to, and collect you from, the nearest connection for the TransPérigord service, also at a fixed fare of 2 euros. If you fancy a day trip to Paris the service links to the TGV Paris/ Angouleme. Read more on the routes: Living in the Dordogne

National holidays in France

Here is the calendar showing 2010 national holidays (jours fériés). These can often offer a long week-end or what is called ‘un pont’; a bridge to the weekend; i.e. Thursday 13 May will be taken as a national holiday on Thursday and Friday 14 May as a bridge day of holiday to the weekend. Worth noting that on jours fériés (as on Sundays) you will have to order your own wine since the usual complementary carafe of wine offered in most restaurants will not be included in the price of the meal.

Friday 1 Jan 2010 - New Year Day
Monday 5 April 2010– Easter Monday
Saturday 1 May 2010– Labour Day
