Taxi Toulouse-Blagnac Airport — Auch

The taxi transfer from Toulouse-Blagnac Airport to Auch takes you in under an hour to the historic capital of Gascony, the legendary land of musketeers and fine living. Auch, capital of the Gers department, is a characterful town perched on a promontory overlooking the Gers valley with sweeping views towards the Pyrenees on clear days. The Sainte-Marie Cathedral, a flamboyant Gothic masterpiece, houses 18 Renaissance stained-glass windows by Arnaut de Moles, considered among France's finest, and 113 intricately carved oak choir stalls depicting over 1,500 biblical and mythological figures. The monumental staircase of 370 steps descends from the cathedral to the riverbank past the statue of d'Artagnan, the legendary Gascon musketeer. The Gers is famed for its gastronomy — foie gras, duck confit, armagnac brandy — and for having France's highest life expectancy. From the airport where Airbus aircraft are assembled just metres from the terminal, the drive to Auch crosses rolling, timeless Gascon countryside.
