Travel & Flights

It’s officially time to start booking!

Flights for the Summer 2026 season are now on sale, so we wanted to share some helpful travel tips to make getting there as easy (and stress-free) as possible. We have pulled together flight and transfer information for the two airports closest to the village of Eymet, so you can choose the option that works best for you.

Our wedding celebrations will kick off on Friday evening, 21st August 2026, in the heart of Eymet and will wrap up with a revival pool party on Sunday, 23rd August 2026. We would absolutely love for you to join us for the full weekend, but there are plenty of flight options available if you need a shorter/longer stay.

Read on below for the best routes, airports, and travel tips… and please shout if you need a hand planning your journey!
