From Toulouse / Montréjeau / Luchon:
- from Toulouse-Matabiau there are 8 TER-trains a day (mon-sat) to Montréjeau and onwards to Luchon (vice versa). The slow train of 7.31 from Toulouse arrives in Saléchan-Siradan at 9.14 (3 km from our place). One or two trains only stop at larger train stations; if you´re in one of these, get off in Loures-Barbazan. Click here for detailed schedules of TER-SNCF. Or use the train planner of Deutsche Bahn, much more practical.

- from train station Montréjeau-Gourdan-Polignan there´s also a bus service towards Luchon. If you catch one of these, ask the driver to stop in Bagiry. (Click for a map.) Follow the signpost and the tarmac (!) road towards Sainte Marie, and onwards to Sainte Marie-Village. We´re in the last house up in the village.
- from train station Saléchan-Siradan you can either walk (see below, route ´by car from Luchon´), but you can also call us for our taxi service (see price list).




By plane

There are many daily charters to cities in southern France, like Toulouse and Pau-Pyrénées (1,5 hour driving from here) or Carcassonne (2,5 hours). A
irtraffic.eu gives a good overview of cheap air traffic in Europe.

Huur op het vliegveld een auto, of neem een bus of taxi naar het dichtstbijzijnde treinstation, en vandaar de trein naar Montréjeau (zie boven).

From there, you either rent a car or take a bus/taxi to the nearest train station. Take a train to Montréjeau (see above).


By car

NB: gps-navigators often don´t recognize ´Sainte Marie´; then choose destination ´Siradan´.

Or use the coordinates: 42° 58' 19,53'' N / 0° 37' 5,45'' E.
