Cycling day trip from Toulouse to Castelnaudary

Kick-off your cycling adventure in the vibrant city of Toulouse, known as "La Ville Rose" because of its charming pink terracotta buildings. Breathe in the culture, take a peek at the grand Place du Capitole, then hop on your bike and start pedaling towards Castelnaudary.

This route is roughly 63 kilometers long and mostly smooth sailing, with about 80% of the journey on solid asphalt. You'll navigate through picturesque paths and cycleways, with just the right amount of ascent to keep your ride interesting but not too challenging.

As you roll along, you'll be seeing some captivating countryside views typical of the Occitanie region. Halfway through, reward yourself with an excursion through delightful rural paths that make up nearly half of the trail. It’s a peaceful ride, sprinkled only slightly with gravel patches – nothing your bike can’t handle.

Arriving in Castelnaudary, treat yourself to a hearty serving of their famous cassoulet. Known as the Capital of Cassoulet, this charming town will entice you with its rich history and flavor. Have a leisurely wander through its serene streets before calling it a day. This ride is the perfect mix of city charm and countryside peace!
