Connecting Portet-sur-Garonne and Pinsaguel, this bridge allows you to cross the river safely thanks to the cycle paths and pedestrian walkways built in 2016 on each side of the road. The views are delightful. Note that routes such as the Véloroute de la vallée de la Garonne or the GR 861 pass through here.

Route departing from Muret with beautiful views of the Garonne and the Pyrenees. The departure is in Muret at the end of the Allée de Niel near the restaurant "La Fabric". We first cross the bridge and then follow the Garonne. We quickly leave the path to climb to the heights and take agricultural paths which offer beautiful views. We then reach the Saint Amans Chapel which will be the occasion for a stop. After the church, we gain a little more height to arrive at Mauzac which allows us to cross back over the Garonne and join Noé on the banks of the Garonne. The return is via the left bank of the Garonne passing through Le Fauga before returning to the starting point. The tour is accessible by gravel, VTC, mountain bike. The first portion is mainly on trails with some nice short climbs. After Mauzac, we stay on much smoother tarmac roads.

Be careful on the descent from Montbrun towards Lacroix Falgarde!!! The equipment services or I don't know which service provider had the great idea of digging a mini trench for the optical fiber or something of that kind on the right lane, therefore in the direction of descent. It's very poorly sealed, there are lots of hills or potholes. It's extremely dangerous for cyclists given the speed reached on this steep descent. I would even say more, it's criminal to do such a disgusting job. I don't know if there are plans to fix this road, but it would be really urgent. And this type of trench is found on several roads in this sector. On the D35 in particular, be careful!

Magnifique sentier passant par la chapelle Notre-Dame des Bois. La petite statue en bois polychrome a été datée du début du XIIIe siècle d'après son style qui est celui des vierges romanes mais avec un certain nombre de détails indiquant déjà le gothique commençant. Les troubles de l'époque, les chevauchées du prince Noir, du comte de Foix ou du comte d'Armagnac, semblent avoir détruit le premier sanctuaire élevé au milieu des bois sur un chemin descendant vers l'Ariège. La statue aurait alors été cachée sous terre. C'est là que s'introduit la légende conservée par la tradition locale. À cet endroit, un jeune taureau quittait souvent le reste du troupeau pour venir gratter de ses sabots, la terre près d'une touffe de genévriers. Le bouvier le suivit un jour et vit l'animal contempler à ses pieds une petite statue de bois de la Sainte Vierge avec l'enfant Jésus. Cette découverte provoqua l'enthousiasme général mais quand on voulut porter la statue en procession dans les paroisses voisines, l'attelage s'arrêta à la limite de Clermont et revint à toute vitesse vers le lieu de la découverte où fut construite une nouvelle église champêtre. Ce monument subit de nombreuses vicissitudes au cours des siècles. Il eut une vie propre avant d'être rattaché au clergé de Clermont. Ce qui restait de l'ensemble conventuel fut vendu, sous le Directoire, à un particulier qui le démolit et fit disparaître jusqu'aux fondations. La statue fut une nouvelle fois cachée par une femme qui la restitua au curé de Clermont. Le pèlerinage ne fut autorisé qu'à partir de 1 810 et rassembla les fidèles d'Aureville, Goyrans, Venerque, Issus, le Vernet, Corronsac, Rebigue et Auragne dont on retrouve les images sur le grand arc de l'église de Clermont. Après la seconde guerre mondiale, il ne restait pas grand-chose du sanctuaire ; la commune acheta le terrain où se rassemblaient les fidèles et le curé Labit fit construire le petit oratoire que l'on voit aujourd'hui, inauguré en 1951. La vieille statue reste cachée chez une habitante du village. Elle n'est sortie qu'une fois par an, autour du 30 avril, pour le pèlerinage.

Great section for fans of trails, the ascent and descent are steep but relatively short, to soften once the first level has been passed. The view overlooks the fields below, the wood pigeon, the ariège and the surroundings on the west side. To the east, for early risers, the sun rises over the distant hills, breathtaking. Very clean and relatively healthy trail, the low grass sticks out a little, bring socks: D In rainy weather to avoid, the arrival is very steep and turns into a clay slide, towards the small stream!
