Does anyone know how to get to Pellevoisin, France, by public transportation? Or do you have suggestions about how to figure it out? It's a very small town, and there are no large towns nearby (that I can identify). Deutsche Bahn doesn't recognize it (although it recognizes some of the nearby towns). I'm puzzled about how to figure out the best route. Thanks!

You are right, it is in what's called "la France profonde" or deep in the heart. I pulled this off the sanctuary website for Pellevoisin: PAR LE TRAIN : à 2h de Paris - Austerlitz. A Paris, gare d'Austerlitz, prendre le train pour Châteauroux.
A la gare de Châteauroux, prendre un car SNCF en direction de Tours, et descendre à la gare de Buzançais - gare, puis on viendra vous chercher (téléphoner au sanctuaire pour prévenir des horaires). Essentially take the Chateauroux train from the Austerlitz train station in Paris. At the Chateauroux station take the bus provided by the train company (SNCF) that is going to Tours. Get off in Buzancais at their station. (The SNCF train company was obliged to run buses to compensate for train routes which were cut back several years ago.) If you are going to the sanctuary, they'll come get you when you call. If you aren't going to the sanctuary, you'll probably have to take a taxi from Buxancais. Bonne route or as Ken from Canada always write, Happy Travels.

Thank you so much! I didn't see that on the sanctuary website... maybe I was looking at the wrong webpage.
