Roques walks

On the outskirts of Toulouse, climb up to admire the Pyrenees and the hillsides, then return to the cool shade of the Goyrans forest along the Ariège river.

In a small corner near Toulouse is a lake where many birds live and where you can enjoy the peace and quiet of nature. Why not spend an afternoon discovering it?

This hike is based on the route published by SICOVAL "Circular walk from Notre-Dame des Bois", which I modified at the end.

This hike, which crosses varied landscapes, offers beautiful views of the Ariège valley. It leads along a path through the woods to the Notre-Dame-des-Bois oratory, a reminder of the discovery of a wooden statue of the Virgin and Child, which can be seen in the church of Clermont-le-Fort.

Starting from the peaceful village of Pouvourville, this easy walk can be enjoyed in all seasons. The signs are everywhere, guiding us along the tree-lined path to the Oppidum de Cluzet, where the first inhabitants of Toulouse lived in the Neolithic period. From the Gallic oppidum, and all along the cliff-top path on the heights of Pech David, you can enjoy magnificent views of the Garonne River flowing through the Toulouse plain.

A very varied hike, combining bucolic trails along the Ariège and aerial passages on the cliffs. Very little tarmac, lots of trails, beautiful views of the plains and the Pyrenees. The hike ends with a visit to the charming village of Clermont-le-Fort.

Just outside Toulouse, this is a short, invigorating circuit. There is a bit of tarmac when crossing Castanet (1.3 km), but the rest is made up of paths and beautiful trails. The countryside is just a few kilometres from Toulouse. Avoid this circuit after heavy rain as some sections will be difficult to navigate.

Starting from the Comtesse dovecote, this walk on the outskirts of Toulouse allows you to discover some of the heritage sites of Ramonville and Auzeville, while following paths that are captivating for their plant and botanical diversity.

The circuit includes a few short tarmac sections but also many paths, greenery and beautiful landscapes; a surprising circuit so close to Toulouse.

Crossed by the famous Way of St James, the village of Rebigue offers walkers the chance to discover, among other things, the Fount Grando fountain, the church dedicated to Saint Lizier and the orientation table with a magnificent panorama of the Pyrenees on a clear day.

On the paths maintained by the Sicoval d'agglomération du Sud-Est toulousain, you will discover the orientation table for Rebigue, Castanet-Tolosan and the Toulouse hillsides.

Stroll along the left bank of Toulouse and discover the city's new developments on a former industrial site. Green spaces have been created to provide shade and coolness in summer. The route is safe and away from traffic. The walk continues towards the historic district and ends at Saint-Cyprien.

A walk with two faces: the first part is "aerial", on the right bank, from Vénerque to Clermont-le-Fort, with elevation changes and endless views, along paths that are rarely used (except by trail runners); the second part, on the left bank, is completely "easy-going", winding between the lake, riverbanks and peaceful neighbourhoods of Le Vernet.

A route starting from Corronsac in the 'long' version, with magnificent landscapes on ridge paths and some beautiful trails in the Lauragais.

From the abbey to the orientation table and the Chapel of Saint-Amans, discover Eaunes in a different way.

This very easy urban walk will take you to the 10 remains of the Roman ramparts of Toulouse fromthe 1st and 3rd centuries AD that are still visible today in public spaces. The duration of this walk will depend on how much time you spend observing the sites.
