Deborah and Yves'
Wedding

Option 1.
Fly into Toulouse airport with Aer Lingus / Ryanair.
Toulouse airport is only 20 minutes from the city centre and 50 minutes from the wedding venue.
Rent a car or download the ‘Bolt’ or ‘Uber’ taxi app to hire a taxi.
If you’re travelling straight to the wedding venue area via taxi, we recommend booking in advance.
Bolt allows pre-booking from 3 days in advance, Uber allows pre-booking 30 days in advance.

Taxis from the airport to Toulouse city centre can be booked on the Bolt / Uber app once you’re through baggage claim.
Alternatively, you can take the shuttle bus to Toulouse city centre from the airport, a one-way ticket is €9:
Airport-shuttle

Option 2.
Fly into Carcassone airport. This is further from the venue (1 hour drive approx.), but you can find good deals. This option works best if you are planning to rent a car.

Option 3.
Take your car on the ferry to Bilbao in Spain and drive 4.5 hours to reach Toulouse. You'll pass through beautiful Basque country and see the Pyrenées in the distance en route.

The venue is in a restored mill in the countryside and it isn’t very well serviced by public transport.
The Bolt / Uber taxi apps also don’t provide pickups here.

If you’re not driving, the venue has recommended these local taxis:
Thierry Renault, Taxi Montcabrier taxi.montcabrier@orange.fr / +33-640548728
Transcaucal transcaucal@hotmail.fr / +33-635249035
Daniel Martinez, Zenitram’s VTC zenitramsvtc@gmail.com / +33-617251416

If you would like help to prebook taxis to/from the venue, let us know and we can arrange pick-ups for you (most drivers won’t speak much English).
We’ll aim to connect guests staying near each other for taxi sharing.

Car Pooling: If your rental car has spare seats and you wouldn’t mind carpooling with other guests staying nearby, let us know and we’ll do our best to connect people.

We recommend staying near the venue on the evening of the wedding.
