Quick ride by bicycle from Toulouse to L'Union

Here’s a fun ride taking you from the heart of Toulouse up to the small, friendly town of L’Union, just northeast of the city. Setting off from central Toulouse—with its iconic pink-brick buildings and lively squares—you’ll wind your way out of the bustle and straight into quieter suburbs along a mostly paved route. This is about 12 km of easygoing riding, with only gentle climbs (so no epic hills here—just a bit of leg stretch!).

You’ll spend much of your journey on cycleways and quiet residential roads, making it pretty stress-free, with only a short touch on busier sections. It’s a nice mix: you’ll pass by neighborhood parks and local boulangeries, catching glimpses of Toulouse’s canal as you head north.

Once you arrive at L’Union, you’ll find a peaceful, green suburb that’s perfect for a café stop or a snack in the park. As a bonus, you'll get a chance to leave the city behind without venturing too far—making this a perfect half-day escape for casual riders or anyone looking to explore beyond Toulouse!
