Travelling to Angouleme/Poitiers by Train

[airbolt]

In about two months I want to visit Angouleme and Poitiers using Eurostar and TGV. Can I book the journey ( ie London-Poitiers-Angouleme-London ) on one site?

Also if anyone has any recommendations in this area of France ( I'm doing Futurscope!) that are reachable on public transport

Thanks

You can book each section of your journey on the Eurostar website. Typical fares:
London to Poitiers = �178.50
Poitiers to Angouleme = �13.50
Angouleme to London = �224.50

However Eurostar offers far cheaper fares, for London to Paris (and vice versa), when you book a return journey (rather than booking separate single journeys). By booking the international journeys with Eurostar (i.e. as a return journey to and from Paris) and then booking the continental journeys with SNCF's UK website (which is actually a portal for Rail Europe) these fares are typical:
London to Paris = �29.50
Paris to Poitiers = �22.50
Poitiers to Angouleme = �13.50
Angouleme to Paris = �20.50
Paris to London = �29.50
