Tips from the Community
Connecting Portet-sur-Garonne and Pinsaguel, this bridge allows you to cross the river safely thanks to the cycle paths and pedestrian walkways built in 2016 on each side of the road. The views are delightful. Note that routes such as the Véloroute de la vallée de la Garonne or the GR 861 pass through here.

This church dedicated to Saint Stephen was built between the 15th century and the very beginning of the 16th century. It has a remarkable interior decoration, recently restored, donated in the 18th century by an aesthetic priest, Abbé Latour de Lordat, who died at the age of 28 and is buried under the porch.

This greenway is very short but nice! I hope they extend it!

Small, quiet secondary road, to avoid the noise of the neighboring departmental road for a few minutes.

Along the canal which supplies the small Saint-Julien power station, a few kilometers of good, well-maintained cycle path.

Chemin Gravel, a few portages to avoid car wrecks, to be done during the day... otherwise it is a direct north-south route.

Route departing from Muret with beautiful views of the Garonne and the Pyrenees. The departure is in Muret at the end of the Allée de Niel near the restaurant "La Fabric". We first cross the bridge and then follow the Garonne. We quickly leave the path to climb to the heights and take agricultural paths which offer beautiful views. We then reach the Saint Amans Chapel which will be the occasion for a stop. After the church, we gain a little more height to arrive at Mauzac which allows us to cross back over the Garonne and join Noé on the banks of the Garonne. The return is via the left bank of the Garonne passing through Le Fauga before returning to the starting point. The tour is accessible by gravel, VTC, mountain bike. The first portion is mainly on trails with some nice short climbs. After Mauzac, we stay on much smoother tarmac roads.
