Cycling day trip from Moissac to Toulouse

This scenic cycling route takes you from the charming town of Moissac to the vibrant city of Toulouse, covering about 70 km of mostly paved surfaces and smooth cycleways. It’s a relaxed ride with gentle elevation changes—just over 150 meters of ascent—making it well-suited for anyone who enjoys leisurely day trips on two wheels.

You’ll roll out from Moissac, famous for its beautiful Romanesque abbey and cloisters (don’t miss a stroll near the Canal de Garonne before you leave). Much of the journey follows former towpaths alongside the canal, so expect tranquil waterside views, picturesque rural landscapes, and minimal car traffic—a real plus for stress-free riding.

As you approach Toulouse, the “Pink City,” the vibe shifts to urban energy, with its terracotta rooftops, lively squares, and excellent food scene. Lock up your bike and reward yourself with some cassoulet!

Overall, this route is a fantastic blend of southern French countryside and cultural city life, mostly on well-maintained cycleways and paths. Perfect for a relaxed day out or a leisurely touring leg.
