Chateau de Cussac is approximately one hour by car from Toulouse international airport with several daily flights from the UK. It is approximately one hour’s drive from Rodez, where Ryanair now operate very reasonable flights from London Stanstead.

Directions from Toulouse: Take the A68 motorway from Toulouse to Albi. There is a small toll of 1 euro 20 cents payable when entering the motorway which can be paid by credit card. After 75 kilometres, the motorway becomes the ring road around Albi. Exit following signs to ‘Millau’ and ‘St Juery’.

Continue to follow signs to the centre of St Juery, around several roundabouts until you see signs to ‘Arthes’. You will cross the River Tarn between the two towns. In ‘Arthes’ follow the road round to the right, and continue, with the River Tarn on your right, until you come to the turning on the left to ‘Saint Gregore’, 6km away. In Saint Gregoire turn right straight after the phone box, and continue for almost 1km.
