Answer 3

What I suggest you is driving your car from your home to Paris via the "chunnel". There's an automobile-railferry service to cross the channel-tunnel, you put your car into large railway cars on the england side of the tunnel and continue with your car at Calais, France.

At Paris, you can use SNCF's TAC (train-auto-couchette) service from Paris's Bercy station (just south of Paris's Lyon station) to Bordeaux. It's basically an overnight train with dormitories and bedrooms while your car is on the same train on an automobile carrier car. I think you can also put your car on such train but take a daylight TGV highspeed train for moving yourself from Paris's Lyon station to Bordeaux.

Then you drive your car from Bordeaux to Bergerac.
