Brive Airport (BVE) to Brive la Gaillarde
There is no scheduled airport bus. The airport lists taxis and car hire, and the terminal sits 13 km outside Brive.
- The airport publishes no bus or shuttle service. Its access page offers taxis and car hire only.
- The terminal is about 13 km south of Brive la Gaillarde, out in the countryside.
- Book a taxi or a hire car before you fly. There is no rank waiting for every arrival at an airport this small.
- Airlines occasionally lay on a coach for a specific flight, so check when you book the ticket.
- The airport's telephone number is +33 5 55 22 40 00.
- Brive station has direct trains to Paris Austerlitz and Toulouse, if you can get to it.
What the airport actually offers
- Taxis and car rental. That is the whole of the airport's own transport page.
- No scheduled bus, no shuttle, no rail link.
- This is normal for a French airport of this size and it is the thing to plan around rather than discover on landing.
Practical consequences
- Arrange the onward leg before you fly. A hire car booked in advance or a taxi ordered by telephone.
- Some airlines organise a coach for particular flights. Ask when buying the ticket rather than assuming.
- The distance is about 13 km, so a taxi is a real fare rather than a token one.
Why people come here
- The airport markets itself as the gateway to the Dordogne Valley, and most arrivals are heading for the villages rather than for Brive itself.
- That reinforces the car point. The Dordogne without a car is a difficult holiday.
