Tips from the Community
Pleasant and easy route following the Canal du Midi. Avoid in strong E/SE wind. Recommended for hybrid / mountain bikes.

The Pompertuzat bridge, also known as the Deyme bridge, dates from the 19th century. It was built of brick. It was demolished in 1814. Marshal Soult's army was followed by Wellington's troops, composed of English soldiers. They passed through Pompertuzat in April 1814, and to protect the French army, the bridge was demolished and rebuilt to restore communication with Belberaud and Escalquens.

This bridge is representative of the structures created by Pierre-Paul Riquet during the construction of the Canal du Midi at the end of the 17th century. Its semicircular arch forms a perfect half-circle. It is typical of the structures found along the entire length of the canal. Its construction method, dimensions, and the use of local materials represent a standardization that contributes to the canal's unique character. Red brick is the emblematic material of the Toulouse plain. This bridge, located in the municipalities of Deyme and Pompertuzat, has been listed as a historical monument since 1998.

Water point along the canal with restrooms. Cleanliness needs improvement, but it's a welcome addition during an outing.

Tired of the Canal du Midi being too close to the motorway, we escaped here one late winter afternoon, a magnificent and very pleasant road on the ridges!
