Carcassonne
Carcassonne can be reached via the A61 from Toulouse, and it takes just over an hour to get there. This historic city is known for its Unesco World Heritage-listed medieval fortress and the striking Châteaux de Lastours, sitting atop a cliff. There are plenty of opportunities to pause for gourmet French food along the way.
Albi
Take the A68 from Toulouse and in less than an hour you’ll arrive in Albi, a small town with a Unesco World Heritage-listed Old Town. The Albi Cathedral is an important historical landmark here, as well as the Toulouse-Lautrec Museum. Here you’ll learn about the town’s legendary artist, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec.
Lourdes
Lourdes is under two hours’ drive from Toulouse on the A64. This large town in the French Pyrenees is a place of spirituality, and the global centre of the Marian pilgrimage. Set aside time to explore the religious sights of the town, which include a Grotto and numerous churches (known as the Sanctuaries). The Rosary Basilica is a must-see. And if you’re not here for piety, head for the city’s marketplace, which Lourdes is known for, and the Hotel de Ville.
Experience the historical delights of Toulouse and the region beyond with your Avis hire car.
