Directions from the Toulouse train station to La Cascade
The “Gare Matabiau” train station is on a street that runs along the Canal du Midi. Cross the canal on one of the three bridges by the station and turn left on the one way street on the other side of the canal. The name of the street is Boulevard de Bonrepos, but although it is the only street that follows the canal south, it changes names several times. (Boulevard Riquet, Port Saint Sauveur, Boulevard Monplaiser.)
Turn left onto Allée des Demoiselles which is D2, the road to Revel. (If you’re counting it’s the 6th or 7th street from the bridge) The name changes to Avenue Saint Exupery, etc. D2 takes you to Revel, a town 5 kilometres from Durfort, and you will soon see road signs to St.Orens and Revel. Follow the signs to Revel through the outskirts.
The suburban towns give way to open fields and small villages. Revel is about an hour’s drive.
