Sharing Wedding Photos

Hello all

We're sure there will be thousands of pictures taken across the 4 day party. We'd love it if you'd share some of them with us

Best way is either on Facebook or on our Flickr group

Thanks everyone

Tell us how you're getting to the Chateau

6 weeks til we head to France, everything going pretty well on the organisation front (so Danusia tells me!)

One of my tasks is to get a list together of everyone's travel details. This is so we can link people together who maybe need a lift from an airport etc

So can you give me:

How are you getting to France?

Flight - date, airline, airport flying from and to, flight number

Driving - when are you aiming to arrive in the area?

How are you getting from airport to your accommodation?

Our advice is to rent a car at either Bordeaux or Bergerac - taxis seem very expensive. can you let me know if you have arranged yet. It's possible we can link people without a car with those who may have some space and are landing at similar times

How are you getting back to the airport on Sunday or Monday?

Same thing really, in reverse and with a hangover.

Regarding Friday night - we are looking into how best to organise travel to and from the restaurant. We'll come back with some ideas

Saturday - if you have a hire car, you can drive to Chateau Rigaud (parking in field outside) and leave you car overnight to be picked up on Sunday, as we'll have a 3 to 4 taxis on stand-by to drive you all home.

Please email your answers to me: stokes.richard@yahoo.co.uk

Merci tout les monde

SAVE THE DATE AND BOOK YOUR FLIGHTS

Great news - our favourite venue had availability this year, so we booked it

Chateau Rigaud, Near St Emillion, Bordeaux, France

http://www.chateaurigaud.co.uk/

The date is 3rd September. Hopefully you'll have received a card like this one...

We'll be updating this blog with information on accommodation, the festivities, and general local information on a regular basis - so keep it saved/bookmarked.

We suggest getting to the area no later than Friday 2nd Sept. We'll be sending out an accommodation list soon but our advice would be to book your flights now as we know there is another wedding in the village that same weekend, so lets make sure we get the best prices!

TRAVEL TO BORDEAUX

We're having a dinner for everyone in a local restaurant on the Friday night, so try to get to the area by mid afternoon on the Friday.

And on Sunday, we'll help soothe sore heads with a rolling BBQ from midday onwards - so aim for an evening flight home. Or better still Monday am.

Londoners

Easyjet fly from Luton & Gatwick to Bordeaux daily - currently about £85 return

Luton - 0710

Gatwick - 0920 & 1855

For those who like a free drink with their flight. BA also fly daily to Bordeaux from Gatwick

0740 & 1650

Currently around £120 return

Bristolians

There is a daily flight from the South West to Bordeaux. The Friday flight is 1605. Currently priced at £105 return

Of course flying isn't the only way to get to Bordeaux. We know quite a few of you are planning to drive. Great idea - means you can buy more wine to take home!

AIRPORT TRANSFERS

Once you have booked flights, please let us know. We will try to group people together and arrange for airport transfers as the local taxis at Bordeaux airport are a bit expensive. If we group together it'll save you a few Euros.

ACCOMMODATION

Whilst there is ample excellent accommodation in the immediate area, we are aiming to do the searching for you. Danusia is currently sifting through pages and pages of options and will soon share this with you directly. But if you do intend to source your own accommodation, please feel free but do let us know.

We're incredibly excited and happy you can all join us - remember to book flights and keep coming back to this site for updates

Lots of love
