2024 Travel Advice
We’re sure you have questions about how to get to camp. Here is valuable information for planning your journey this summer!
Jump to:
When should I book?
As soon as possible (3-6 months in advance)
There’s no time like the present! But… for real.
Flights tend to go up and up in price. More often than not, the sooner you book, the better. In most cases, the best time to purchase international flights to France in summer is at least 3-6 months in advance. If you are a bargain hunter, try creating price alerts and set a goal to book within a few weeks or a month.
We recommend using Skyscanner and Kayak for the best deals on flights.
Where am I going?
Camp Château is located at Le Château, 46100 Béduer, France
The easiest way to get to us is to:
1. Fly or take a train to Toulouse
2. From Toulouse, take the train to Figeac
3. We will pick you up for free from Figeac after check-in (3 pm-7 pm)
We recommend checking for trains in Europe on Trainline.

Any advice for traveling during 2024 Paris Olympics?
July 24th- August 11th 2024 the Olympics will be held in Paris
Paris 2024 Summer Olympics will bring a lot of foot, air, and train traffic to the city. We recommend:
1. If flying to Toulouse, try to connect through London, Barcelona, Amsterdam, or Frankfurt.
2. If you want to go through Paris then:
Plan your accommodation well in advance
Check the Olympic schedule to see especially busy times
Be prepared to walk if the trains and streets are overcrowded
Keep your belongings close to you, like in a fanny pack, to deter pick-pockets
Still have questions?
We wish you a safe and pleasant journey!
