The Best Way to Get to the Retreat From Europe
Basically, the best bet to get here is Ryanair to Carcassonne, which is a 30-minute drive to the house. Of course, non Europe-based residents who want to visit London, Berlin or Dublin (for example) for a day or two can also use Ryanair.
Ryanair is infamous among travelers for their surcharges. Read the fine print. To note: if you miss a flight or pack too much luggage, what seemed like a very inexpensive ticket suddenly becomes very expensive. Obey their check-in procedures. If you are 30 seconds late for a connection they will not let you on the plane.

It’s easiest to fly into Toulouse through other European cities, including Paris. Driving to the house from Paris is a very long day-long affair. Same with the train.
Those who want to visit Paris on either end can certainly do that. TGVs from Paris to Toulouse cost about 100-150 Euro round trip, and it’s good to have a reservation in advance.
The Best Way to Get to the Retreat From Toulouse
It’s an easy hour and a half drive to the house. Or, people can take the train to Carcassonne (about 60 Euros round trip; the airport shuttle to the train station costs an additional 5 Euro each way) and get picked up. You can also take a taxi up the mountain from there, if you don’t plan to rent a car or sign up for the ride package (we will attach information about this when your application is accepted). The train schedules, etc, are on the SNCF website.
From Barcelona, it’s about three hours by car. Again, it’s an easy drive. Sorry, we don’t know the prices for trains to Carcassonne from there. That would also be on the SNCF website.
There are other ways too. Some people come into Marseille, or Montpellier.
