Very good forest for a walk or for mountain biking!

Very pleasant but many passages without shade. Break with toilets and water just above the biodiversity center and in the parking lot at the exit of the forest.

Excellent cycle route on former train route. (fences require some slalom skills!)

This green trail starts in Bessières (31) and leads to Bressols (82) near Montauban. The road surface is asphalt but in some places you will find sandy surfaces. Quite busy cyclist and pedestrian crossing. Be careful at the end of each segment (or beginning) gantries are installed, don't hurt yourself.

Excellent walking path. Not suitable for speed even if wide and little used, the barriers every 500m-1000m are very restrictive. Safety bonus at intersections but not an optimal solution.
