Directions
To travel from Blagnac Airport to Pamiers, you have two options.
The first option is to take the A61 and A66 autoroutes. Although it is a longer route, it is faster. The cost is approximately 6 euros. From Blagnac Airport, follow the signs to Toulouse centre. Once you see signs for Tarbes and Lourdes, follow those. This will take you south around the peripherique and then you can pick up the blue autoroute signs to Foix. The toll motorway ends at Pamiers Nord, where you can exit.
Alternatively, you can take the N20 route via Auterive. This route is shorter and cheaper, but it takes about 10 minutes longer. To access this road, follow the signs to Tarbes and Lourdes until you see green signs for Foix and the N20.
Both routes will lead you to a roundabout just north of Pamiers. From there, follow the D624 towards the town.
At the first set of traffic lights, turn right towards Bezac and Escosse (D119). Continue on this road until you reach the village of Escosse. Drive through the village.
After a kilometer or so, where the road bends to the right, take the left fork (which is basically straight ahead) and follow the signs to St Victor R.
Continue straight through the village. Just after the village exit sign, where the road curves to the left, turn right at the small farm called Le Tarré. Immediately after the farm, turn right again and follow the uphill lane. At the next fork, turn right and La Maire will be at the end of the lane.
