How Do I Get To La Sarre ?

[koiman]

I need to get to La Sarre in Quebec Canada.
What is the easiest and quickest way?

[bednobs]

from where?

[koiman]

Oh good point. Manchester.

I don't mind doing a hire car for a couple of hours

Probably fly to Toronto then drive up, unless you can find a faster train - it looks a long way and not even close to major airport cities like Quebec. Maybe there is a smaller local airport you could look into flying to?

[koiman]

Not a lot of help, that I knew already, any real answers still wecome

[bednobs]

lol that told you eve!

There's a thrice weekly train (takes 11.5 hours) from Montreal to a place called Senneterre which is 2-3 hours drive away

It has an airport (code SSQ) but I've been unable to find any scheduled flights serving it. Not saying there aren't any but I can't find them

It will be a good day's drive from Montreal (675 km) or Toronto - probably the best way of getting there. Montreal will be nearer but Toronto has more flights

I've just spoken to a very nice lady at the La Sarre Tourist Information Office. (Phone [phone]). She told me that the nearest airport served by commercial flights is Rouyn-Noranda, which is about 1 hour's drive from La Sarre.

Services to Rouyn-Noranda are listed on Wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rouyn-Noranda_Airport

The Manchester Airport website shows the only Canadian destinations served directly from there are Calgary, Toronto and Vancouver, which means that you can't to Roun-Noranda in just two stages.

One possible route would be with BA to Montréal Trudeau Airport (via Heathrow) and then with whichever one of the three airlines listed in Wikipedia's link can get you to Rouyn-Noranda most conveniently. Alternatively, since Air Canada operate from Heathrow to Montreal, they might be able to offer through ticketing on to Rouyn-Noranda (using their Air Canada Express service).

This website, operated by the broker Car Rental Republic, might help you hire a car:
