If you are flying via
Bordeaux
, capital of the wine trade, add on a city break for a contrast to the walk.
Why not take the train?
You can leave London St Pancras or Ebbsfleet in the morning and be at your destination by the evening, making it an excellent (not to mention environmentally friendly) way to reach this holiday. You can relax right from the start of your journey as Eurostar services whisk you through the Channel Tunnel to connect with the world-famous French high-speed TGV trains in either Paris or Lille. We reserve seats for you, there is plenty of luggage space, and refreshments are available on board.
You may even break your journey in Paris if you are travelling via the capital. Sit back and enjoy a truly great rail journey! Look for the ‘by rail’ prices in the Prices & Travel section, where you will also find journey details.

delicious cuisine
Alluring landscapes, gentle yet scenic walking routes, plenty of time for cultural visits, a regional cuisine often featuring truffles and duck, welcoming small hotels, a benevolent climate…here you have all the ingredients for a wonderful, and very relaxing, walking holiday. Indeed, given the leisurely nature of the walking, the easy access from Toulouse and the warm hospitality of the hoteliers, this makes an ideal first walk, rewarding you with a real sense of fulfilment at having explored one of France’s last remaining ‘secrets’.
