The A.62 motorway has an interchange at Agen and links Bordeaux and  Toulouse. Via Agen, both these major French cities are around 90 minutes from Condom and Le Lavandou.

The four main Ferry route options are:

 

1      Dover - Calais (also Eurotunnel)

2      Portsmouth - Caen

3      Poole - Cherbourg

4      Plymouth - Roscoff

  

Very frequent ferry services between Dover and Calais and also the similar Eurotunnel route from Folkestone to Calais.

From Calais, the 'Michelin' distance to Condom is 991 km via Paris, Orleans, Limoges and Agen. (Calais - Agen is 953km and Agen - Condom is 38km).

An alternative 'Michelin' route goes further west, via Paris, Orleans, Tours and Bordeaux, but at the end takes Exit 6 on the Bordeaux - Toulouse motorway (A.62), which is before Agen. From Exit 6 the route goes via Nerac to Condom. This route is 1,021 km but probably faster overall.
