By Rail

The most comfortable way to travel is probably via Eurostar from London to Lille, and from Lille to Angouleme (66mn drive/72km from saint Auvent). Hiring a car at Angouleme train station is possible and likely to be necessary unless you have other transport.

Since the TGV runs from Lille station it is much better to change there than in Paris (which would require travelling across Paris).

By Air

Flying to the region is also easy, but here there is a choice of airports.

Limoges has an airport but flights aren't direct. You can change in Paris or Clermond Ferrand. Although you do not need to hire a car (you can use taxis, although a hire car may be cheaper in the long run) the flights tend to be more expensive that at other airports.

Ryanair fly to Poitiers which is the closest airport served by a low cost airline.

Slightly further away is La Rochelle.

Further afield there are flights into Bordeaux (Ryanair flies there and probably some other low cost airlines) and Toulouse.
