Angers and Quimper [Ground transportation from/to airports?]
I'm travelling *into* Angers-Loire and *out of* Quimper-Cornouaille in early September. (Yes these are BA destinations, albeit very obscure!)
Does anyone have any useful info about ground transportation at these airports? The websites for both airports are contradicted by what few "customer reviews" I can find online. A bus to or from the city centre would be ideal.
I'm not too bothered about the airport facilities, no lounges etc - both are mainly general aviation airfields anyway.
TIA.

This thread was originally posted in the BA forum, however, as it is not specific to BA or BAEC, it has been moved to France forum so that it those who do not frequent the BA forum may spot this thread and be able to help the OP.

Quimper has an hourly bus service from it to the town centre. From the arport goes around the industrial zone, one village and then into Quimper itself, a reasonable route. Driver takes cash (€1.20 or thereabouts). The BA arrival is poorly timed, it generally arrives early and just misses the hourly bus. The departure is better timed, you can safely arrive at the airport 30 minutes before departure.

Angers is as far as I can make out a taxi job in practical terms, and it's quite some way from both Angers and Le Mans. There is an irregular bus service between Angers and Noyant however:

The thread moving aspect is interesting, I wouldn't have spotted this in the France forum.....

Thanks, that's helpful. I try to avoid taxis but it does look like Angers is a taxi job as you say.
I only posted in the BA forum as BA are just about the only airlines that fly into these places. Perhaps we'll see every single moan about LHR T1/3/5 shunted into the UK forum?

Hitchhiking is also doable, I did it in Poitiers with the OH (6-months pregnant at the time) as there were no cabs available due to strike...20 min wait before someone passing by our destination picked us up
