Inside the basin, a network of roads in the shape of a star allows to get anywhere in less than 45min. RAILWAYThe basin of the river Charente enjoys many interregional lanes, but also the tgv lane which links Paris with Bordeaux , and the one linking La Rochelle with Limoges . AIRPORTSThere are two aerodromes : The one of La Rochelle-Laleu , with low cost companies flying to Dublin and London , and flights to Paris as well ; and the aerodrome Brie-Champniers in Angoulême (it serves Clermont Ferrand). Although La Rochelle airport is outside the basin of the river Charente, it does be a useful way to go to Paris or to the United Kingdom. See the map of the transport network |
