A family bike ride near Toulouse through medieval stories!

Departing from La Bastide campsite in Mazères, start your day’s cycling in the bastide town of Mazères, founded by the Counts of Foix. Leave behind its narrow streets steeped in history, its Gothic church and its plane tree-lined avenues, before heading out into the Ariège countryside.

A day trip through small villages and castles in Ariège!

Along the way, you’ll pass through Montaut, a charming medieval hilltop village with a 15th-century church and panoramic views from the castral mound. The route also reveals castles, dovecotes and authentic landscapes.

Comfort and welcome after the effort at the riverside campsite!

Before reaching Saverdun, take in the Domaine des Oiseaux, a remarkable natural area dedicated to birdwatching. Finish your loop in the heart of the bastide, enjoying its friendly atmosphere.

After this wonderful outing, La Bastide campsite and its team welcome you to a green and relaxing setting. You can relax by the river or take advantage of the campsite’s facilities. The staff will be happy to advise you on other cycle routes or local activities, so that you can extend your stay in Ariège with complete peace of mind.
