Excursión ciclista de un día de Toulouse a Castelnaudary

This scenic ride takes you from the bustling heart of Toulouse to the charming canal town of Castelnaudary, covering just over 62 km. Starting in Toulouse, the “Pink City,” famous for its vibrant brick architecture and lively café culture, you’ll quickly find yourself pedaling along peaceful paths and quiet cycleways. Much of the route follows the historic Canal du Midi, so expect plenty of riverside views and shady tree tunnels—ideal for a relaxed pace.

The journey is mostly flat with gentle climbs and smooth descents, and the surface is friendly to most bikes: mainly paved, but keep an eye out for short stretches of gravel and ground, especially near canal locks. As you approach Castelnaudary, don’t forget that this small town is the birthplace of cassoulet, the ultimate French comfort dish—perfect for refueling after your ride! Whether you’re a history buff, nature lover, or food enthusiast, this bike ride offers a little bit of everything.
