Flights to Nantes
Flying could be your most economical way of getting to LPO, especially if travelling solo or without a car. You’ll need to book your own flights, but feel free to call us for advice. Skyscanner is a great tool to view most available routes to French airports.
Your accommodation booking with us will have £60 off due to not needing the included ferry booking (this is the Own Transport discount - not applicable to solo rates or Euro prices).
Direct flights from England to Nantes are normally available from Gatwick and Bristol (Easyjet), or Stansted (Ryanair).
Other services may be available, and routes and schedules change from time to time, so please check each airline’s website for up-to-date schedules. Many routes are seasonal and operate different timetables according to the time of year.
Arriving at Nantes airport
Airport minibus
From the moment you walk out of the arrivals door at Nantes airport you can be in our safe hands. We’ll meet you, help you with your luggage and drive you to the park which is less than an hour away.
Our friendly drivers know their way around and will take care of everything for you. And of course we’ll make the return journey just as easy, ensuring you’re in plenty of time for your flight.
Pre-booking is essential, ideally with at least two weeks' notice, and subject to availability.
If you would like to use our shuttlebus service, please ensure your flights arrive/depart at Nantes 12:00-18:00 on a Monday or Saturday, and check availability before booking your flights. You may need to wait at the airport: it shouldn't be more than 2 hours. We will advise you of timings 2 weeks in advance.
We may not be able to pick you up if your flight is delayed by more than 20 minutes.
One way: £35 / £25 (for adult / under 16)
Return: £60 / £40
Shuttle to Saint-Gilles-Croix-de-Vie
These airport transfer prices also include one free return shuttlebus trip to Saint-Gilles-Croix-de-Vie to visit the shops, the town or beaches. Just book your slot in Reception.
Further return shuttles to Saint-Gilles can be booked on site for 5€ per adult (2.50€ under-16s).
Car hire
For maximum flexibility, pick up a hire car when you arrive. You’ll find all the major operators represented at the airport. Prices can be surprisingly low, especially if you book in advance and use a comparison website. If you take the train to Challans first, you may find much lower prices there than at the airport.
Out of hours
Give us advance notice and we’ll arrange transfers for you even outside of standard timings. This will cost a minimum of £130 per journey: please speak to us as early as possible to see if this can be arranged.
Public transport
Alternatively, a regular shuttle service runs from the airport to Nantes station, a 25 minute journey. Catch a train direct to Challans, just a short drive from the park. We can pick you up for £26 (for up to 8 people, one way) if you arrange this with us in advance.
