Castres-Mazamet Airport: where to stay, areas and recommended hotels

Castres-Mazamet is a small airport, 8.5 km southeast of Castres: by taxi you reach the centre in about 10 minutes, Mazamet in 15, and bus line 10 Libellus also connects it. With such infrequent flights there are no night-time schedules to worry about: anyone who just needs to board can stay in the area near the terminal, while anyone wanting to see Castres, with its cathedral and historic centre on the Agout, does better choosing the city centre directly, still just a few minutes by car.
