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.

This beautiful hike takes you to the heights of Carbonne and the meeting point of the Garonne and Arize rivers.
