A very easy journey.

This is the easiest and most comfortable way to get to La Roane.
OUR LOCAL AIRPORT, TOULOUSE, IS ONE HOUR AWAY FROM LA ROANE. EasyJet (Gatwick), FlyBe (Birmingham and Bristol), BA (Gatwick), JET2 (Manchester Leeds/Bradford and Belfast) and Aer Lingus (Dublin) all have flights to Toulouse. The budget airlines bring out their 2008 schedules around December and prices are much cheaper if you book as soon as the schedules come out.

If you are coming from the South East, book on the EasyJet morning flight from Gatwick. If you book early, prices are around £80. It means an early start, but you will arrive at la Roane in time for an early lunch and an afternoon siesta.

I offer an optional £40 (£20 each way) taxi service from Toulouse airport to La Roane. For more information see below.

Some people prefer to come by train. You leave in the morning from Waterloo and get picked up 11 hours later at our local station (Caussade, Tarne-et-Garonne), 15 minutes away.

You can also drive here. La Roane is about 10 hours from Calais.

Try to get a flight that arrives at Toulouse by 4.00pm

I offer a transport service from Toulouse airport to La Roane, returning you there at the end of the week for a fixed charge of £20 each way. As you leave the baggage claim area, look out for our friendly taxi driver who will be holding up the La Roane sign. If in doubt, go to ‘Le Terminal’ cafe on the ground floor.

There may be several flights arriving at roughly the same time in which case you may have to wait for the other guests who will be travelling in the same taxi. Again, the rendezvous point will be the cafe on the ground floor.

You will be informed of precise pickup times a few days before departure.

For flights after 4.00pm a taxi can be sent to meet you at a cost of 90 euros. This can be shared if there are any other guests arriving at roughly the same time. If you find the Saturday flights are full or are too expensive, another option is to come a day or two earlier. I can book a hotel in Toulouse or elsewhere for you.

The transfer service to the airport leaves La Roane from around 8 am the following Saturday, in time for early morning flights. Those with late afternoon or evening flights usually leave La Roane around 10.30am, spend some time in the local medieval town of St Antonin and go directly to the airport by taxi.
