Where to park a camper van to visit Toulouse?

Hi everyone,

Could anyone recommend a place to park with a camper van (parking lot or camper van area) so I can visit central Toulouse using public transport?

Thanks in advance for your tips. Best regards

Hi there, The city of Toulouse isn’t very well equipped for camper vans, but there are a few parking options: 1/ Camping Le Rupé: 21 Chemin du Pont de Rupé, Phone: 05 61 70 07 35, Email: campinglerupe@orange.fr. Easy access to public transport (bus, métro). 2/ Cité de l'Espace: parking only, no services, access to Toulouse city center by bus (Unnamed Road, 31500 Toulouse). How long do you plan to stay in Toulouse?

Hi Jack, Thanks so much for the info. I think we’ll stay for a day or two… so just one night max. It’ll also depend on the weather—sightseeing in the rain isn’t the most fun. Best, Claudine

Hi there,

I’ve got another question. Do you know of a "small town" where we could park the camper van and take a train to Toulouse? We did this to visit Porto, and I loved it. We’re arriving from the north/west. Thanks! Have a great day, Claudine

Hi, There’s the **La Bouriette** campsite: 199 Chemin de Tournefeuille Saint Martin du Touch 31300 TOULOUSE +33 5 61 49 64 46 There’s an SNCF train station nearby.

Thanks so much for this very detailed info. We prefer to avoid campsites, but sometimes there’s no other option. Best regards, Claudine

Hi there. In big cities, a campsite is better than a parking lot for camper vans. It’s safer for the vehicle too...

Good evening, I was in downtown Toulouse today and picked up a map of the Toulouse metro area with the three spots I shared for parking. I also have a public transport map (bus, metro, and tram). If you're interested, DM me.

Hi Jack,

Sorry, we’re going to have to cancel our visit to Toulouse. Our friends have a water leak in their motorhome and need to get it fixed.

Thanks for your tips—I’ll keep them for next time. Best, Claudine
