getting there
Flying. We recommend flying from the following airports to Toulouse Blagnac Airport:​​
​
​
Car Hire. The venue is just under an hour's drive from the airport. We recommend booking your hire car in advance.
Taxi. If you prefer to arrive by taxi from the airport, we suggest booking in advance with a local company rather than relying on Uber.
Contacts: Ecosium, Tavares Taxi, Taxi Jacky, Taxi Christelle, Lucien Taxi, Nick Tully (minivan), Esther Riu et Filles, Pascale Buisson.
​
Driving. If you’re driving from the UK, the journey takes about 11-12 hours (including breaks). Alternatively, you can take the Eurostar to Paris and then the high-speed train to Agen. From Agen, it’s about a 60-minute drive.
where to stay
The nearest villages to the wedding venue are Lectoure and Saint-Clar, both about 15 minutes away.
​
Lectoure is the most convenient option and we will be hosting welcome drinks at a hotel in the village centre on Friday evening.​ Saint-Clar is a 15-minute drive from Lectoure, if you would prefer to stay there.
​
We will arrange a coach to transport guests from (and back to) Lectoure and Saint-Clar on Saturday and Sunday.
