By Car

Take the E80 A64 highway that goes East to West from Toulouse West or Biarritz East and come of at junction 16 sign posted Lannemezan.

Once off the motorway follow the signs for La Barthe de  Neste heading south on the D939 for a short distance before picking up the D929 again sign posted La Barthe de Neste.  Follow the road down into LBDN and past the Proxi convenience store on your right to a roundabout with a cafe opposite.

At this roundabout take the 3rd Exit (left) D938 sign posted St Laurent de Neste & Nistos-Cap-Nestes.  Follow this road for about a mile. When the road bends to the left Le Closier is directly in front of you.

Drive past the house and turn immediately right 200 yrds and turn right into a car par and our private car park is in front of you.

By Plane

There are three airports within reasonable distance from La Barthe de Neste.

Lourdes/Tarbes airport is the nearest which is served by Ryanair from Stansted. The flights are Mondays, Wednesdays & Fridays. Ryanair charge 60 Euros for bikes each way. 

The beauty of Lourdes is that it is about 30 minutes from Le Closier and as it is a small airport it is very speedy through customs. We have used Ryanair many times and as long as you have no problems with your booking details they are efficient certainly much better than they used to be. They charge around £60 per bike each way (£120 return). Transfers from Lourdes are cheaper due to the proximity to Le Closier and can be booked via the local transfer company.

Toulouse is the international airport which is served by many carriers in particular British Airways from Heathrow and Easyjet from Bristol.  It is about 85 kms and takes about 90 mins. What can be saved in bike charges with BA is often outweighed by the higher flight and transfer cost. Easyjet charge around £70 per bike return journey.

Biarritz is served by Flybe which is a direct flight from Birmingham but is 120 miles away- great if you are hiring your own car but perhaps too far for paid transfer.

If you are arriving by plane you will need a transfer from the airport.
