Before your trip to Carcassonne

A61


The route

We take the A61 towards Toulouse as far as Carcassonne: about 60 km and 45 minutes in normal traffic. For an early morning appointment, we leave with time to spare for the traffic coming into town.

Two sites


Hospital or polyclinic?

The hospital, on chemin de la Madeleine, and the Montréal polyclinic, on route de Bram, are two separate establishments: check the exact place on your appointment letter and we drop you outside the right building.
