To get to Mirepoix from Blagnac/Toulouse, take the A61 on the peripherique and follow the signs for Carcassonne, Barcelona, and FOIX PEAGE (not Foix RN 20). Once on the A61, continue past the toll booth and keep an eye out for the A66 fork towards Andorra. At the next toll booth, merge onto the N20 towards Foix. Take exit 6 towards Mirepoix and Lavelanet. Join the D119 towards Mirepoix (first exit on the right at the roundabout), and drive through Les Pujols, Rieucros, Coutens, and Besset before reaching Mirepoix. Go straight at the first roundabout on the town outskirts. At the second roundabout, turn right onto the D625 towards Lavelanet.
