Good To Know<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before you leave<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Everything you need to know before your ride: useful tips, altitude difference, duration and tips for enjoying the route.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This loop circuit is 8.5 km long with a very slight difference in altitude of around 10 m – an easy route accessible to all. The altitude remains stable at around 140-150 m. Allow around 2h30 for the whole walk. The outward journey follows a fairly flat cycle path or dirt track; the return, via a narrow path close to the canal, is wilder and can be muddy in wet weather – bring suitable footwear.

How to get there<\/p>\n\n\n\n

to the starting point <\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The starting point is 22 km from the campsite! <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To reach the starting point along the Canal du Midi from Camping Le Rup\u00e9, you can walk along a pleasant footpath. Allow 3 to 3.5 km, depending on the route you choose, for a 40 to 50-minute walk. The route passes through quiet districts of Toulouse and gradually joins the canal-side path. The walk offers a glimpse of the urban ambience before returning to the peaceful setting of the canal and its locks. Bring comfortable shoes and water for the journey. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
