GETTING THERE
BY CAR
There are many options for routes by car from the UK using the cross channel ferries or tunnel. The choice of route to the Pyrénées obviously depends on your point of entry into France. From most French ports it is best to head towards the city of Toulouse. We will supply you with directions to our apartment in Bagnères de Luchon from Toulouse before you travel.
BY AIR
Toulouse International Airport (Blagnac) is the most convenient airport from which to get to Bagnères de Luchon. Several budget airlines go there from a number of airports, see table below. Here there are good car hire facilities with Hertz, Avis and Europecar having offices at the airport. In fact fly-drive is probably the easiest and most economic option to use for one or two week holidays.
There is also a shuttle bus service to the SNCF railway station where you can travel to Luchon by train. Important note: The SNCF website only recognizes Luchon and not Bagnères de Luchon.
Alternatively you could fly to Pau and Perpignan. Ryanair runs daily flights at very attractive prices to Pau and Perpignan from Stansted.
