About Toulouse Matabiau

Toulouse Matabiau is the principal railway station of Toulouse, the fourth-largest city in France and the centre of the country's aerospace industry. It serves as the hub for Intercités and TGV services to Paris, Bordeaux, and Montpellier, as well as a dense network of TER regional trains across Occitanie and the Pyrenean foothills. The station is the starting point of the planned new high-speed line to Bordeaux that will dramatically reduce journey times to Paris when complete, and is currently undergoing long-term expansion to accommodate future traffic growth.
