Quick ride by bicycle from Toulouse to Blagnac

This ride takes you from the heart of Toulouse to the vibrant suburb of Blagnac—a perfect urban-to-riverside adventure! Starting in bustling Toulouse, known as “La Ville Rose” thanks to its iconic pink-hued bricks, you'll set off through a blend of dedicated cyclepaths, quiet streets, and riverside routes.

The distance is just under 9 km, so it’s an easy bike commute or a leisurely ride. There’s a mild ascent and descent—the highest point is about 155 meters—so you’ll get a gentle bit of exercise without really breaking a sweat. Most of the way is paved or asphalt, but watch for some short gravel sections as you near Blagnac.

You’ll pass parks, maybe catch glimpses of the Garonne River, and roll by lively neighborhoods before reaching Blagnac. Fun fact: Blagnac is famous both for its old village charm and for being the HQ of Airbus, so keep an eye out for planes overhead!

Grab a coffee or pastry at the end, or take some time to explore Blagnac’s old center before heading back. It’s the best of both Toulouse’s energetic vibe and Blagnac’s airy, green spaces.
