Very pleasant forest for cycling. Quite a few smooth paths and fun singletracks. Good in late spring and summer, be careful if it rains, it quickly gets muddy on some paths!

So you have the Sainte Germaine fountain but there is also her house, open and maintained. You just have to pull the door behind you, you will see her old bed where she used to fall asleep curled up under the stairs near her animals. She died at 22 years old. A route was created in her memory, the Sainte Germaine path in her honor, like the Camino de Santiago. And on this path, you will discover the beautiful basilica in Pibrac, also built in her name. She was canonized around 1820 and then beatified 20 years later... She performed 7 miracles, one of which is called the miracle of the roses.
