Quick ride by bicycle from Blagnac to Plaisance-du-Touch

This ride takes you from Blagnac, a vibrant suburb northwest of Toulouse known for its close connection to the city’s aviation industry (hello, Airbus headquarters!), down to the charming town of Plaisance-du-Touch. Covering just over 16.5 km, the route is mostly paved and pretty flat, with only about 58 meters of gentle ascent, making it an easy spin suitable for most riders.

The route mainly follows designated cycleways (over 80%), so you’ll get to enjoy a relaxed pedal without much traffic. As you leave Blagnac and its riverside parks, you’ll pass through some quieter suburban neighborhoods and a sprinkle of green spaces. The ride winds up in Plaisance-du-Touch, a friendly community with a scenic lake and lovely local bakeries—perfect for a post-ride treat.

This is a great route if you want a safe, mostly car-free cruise with a mix of urban and semi-rural vibes. Just make sure you’re ready for a short stretch on gravel, but otherwise, it’s smooth sailing!
