Taxi Toulouse-Blagnac Airport — Albi
From the aerospace hub to the UNESCO-listed episcopal city
A taxi between Toulouse-Blagnac Airport and Albi costs between €155 and €185 when booked in advance at a fixed price, over a road distance of about 80 kilometres and a journey time of from 55 to 75 minutes depending on traffic. The usual route takes A68, with ~€6 in tolls (A68 Toulouse–Albi section). A van for up to seven passengers starts at €245. That price includes luggage, tolls and the driver's approach, and it does not move if traffic builds up: that is the difference with a metered ride, where every minute of waiting is charged and the applicable rate depends on the hour. On an unbooked ride, the amount follows the scale of the prefectoral order applying where the passenger is picked up, higher from seven in the evening to ten in the morning as well as on Sundays and public holidays. The driver tracks the flight or train number given at booking and shifts the pick-up at no extra cost if it is delayed, and cancelling remains free up to six hours before departure.

The taxi transfer from Toulouse-Blagnac Airport to Albi connects the aeronautic modernity of the Toulouse metropolis with one of southern France's most beautiful historic cities. Albi, capital of the Tarn department, has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2010 for its exceptional episcopal ensemble dominated by Sainte-Cecile Cathedral, the world's largest brick cathedral. Built between 1282 and 1480 in a unique southern Gothic style after the Albigensian Crusade, this colossal monument houses the largest Last Judgement fresco in Western Christendom. The Berbie Palace on the banks of the Tarn river holds the Toulouse-Lautrec Museum, dedicated to the post-impressionist painter born in Albi in 1864. The terraced gardens offer sweeping views over the emerald Tarn waters and ancient stone bridges. Albi is also a gourmet city, birthplace of pastel blue dye trade and home to the Gaillac vineyards, among France's oldest.
