Three Handy Tips for Dismantling in Champniers
From Bordeaux, the main route follows the A10 to Interchange 39b “Angoulême / Barbezieux,” then the N10. As you approach Champniers, the intersection with the N141 branches off to different destinations: the town center, Les Montagnes, and the airport do not share the same entrance.
For a business in the Montagnes area, please provide the company name, lane number, and the intended drop-off location. For a village or hamlet, the full address and a map reference will ensure delivery to the correct gate.
The Angoulême-Cognac Airport is located north of the town, while the business park faces the Angoulême metropolitan area. A pickup after an appointment must therefore be scheduled at the same location as the drop-off or at a second, clearly specified location.
