How
to get to your self catering accommodation in the Pyrenees ?
- by car by
the A66 (Toulouse, Pamiers), the N20 (Foix,
Tarascon sur Ariège) and the
D8 (Tarascon sur
Ariège, Capoulet). One
can get to Miglos from Niaux but driving along the D8 until Capoulet is easier :
turn the litle road up to your left, about
1 km and there you are. Our house looks like it is on the photo.
- by train :
several night trains from Paris to Toulouse
and one of them going through to Tarascon sur Ariège. At
Tarascon station ask for a
taxi.
- Although
you can get here by train or by plane (Toulouse or Carcassonne) staying
at the house you need a car (of course not if you're booking a
hike) : shops are in Tarascon (about 10'
by car)
- adress : Le
Castel,
09400 Miglos
