We were up early this morning to make sure our “Peugeot Airbus/ Navette” made it on time for its scheduled run to Toulouse-Blagnac Airport .
A little tongue and cheek!
Our rental car this trip is a Peugeot 2008 and Toulouse is the home of Airbus headquarters along with the production location of many Airbus models.
The Navette is a very efficient shuttle service that goes from Toulouse-Blagnac Airport to Toulouse Matabiau station every 20 minutes with several stops on the way.
Nowadays there is also tram service that runs into the city of Toulouse from the airport.
When we first started travelling to Europe together back in 2003, Monsieur Honey and I did so without rental cars.
We did most of our travelling by bus and train.
One of my most memorable experiences was travelling with a Eurail Pass on our first adventure; we spent four days in Paris, took a train from Gare d’Austerlitz to Cahors (in the Lot Valley) where our French Connection friends met us.
We spent a few days with them in Belaye, then ventured off on the train.
We saw so much/many different areas of France ...
Arles, Avignon, Carcassonne, Collioure, Orange and many other places and we finished our travels on the train into Belgium for a week. We TGV’ed our way from Brussels to Paris CDG for our return flight home.
Just a little trip down memory lane ... these days we travel by rental car.
The sky was lit up in glorious hues and shades of orange, pink and red as the sun was rising.
Our friend Laury’s visit was ending; she was meeting up with another friend at the Airport for an overnight visit before returning to her home in Cadrieu.
Daughter, Jennifer’s flight from Canada was scheduled to land at 10:30AM.
We said au revoir / à bientôt to Laury and bienvenue to Jennifer.
We headed back to Montlaur with a stop in Trebes for lunch on the Quai along the Canal du Midi.
A nice easy start for Jennifer’s French week!
