I was determined to get to Oradour sur Glane on a recent trip and it is absolutely worth the effort! It’s just an incredibly sober, reflective, and shocking place to walk around.
It took me forever to sort out a way but here is what we did: we were in Bordeaux. We took the fast train to Angoloume and then I had a driver pick us up there, drive us to Oradour sur Glane, and wait while we toured the site. They then took us back to Angouleme. We spent a few hours there - totally worth it for a lovely architectural city walk, nice pedestrian streets, and nice cafes - and then took the train back to Bordeaux.
The train ride takes 36 minutes from Bordeaux to Angouleme.
We used Monsieur Paul limo service for the ride for Angouleme. The cost of the ride plus two hours of waiting time was 200 Euros. The drive distance between Angouleme and Oradour sur Glane is 84 km.
