Very pleasant greenway, on an old railway line. According to hautegaronnetourisme.com: Route specific to cyclists. Supporting part of the Pyrenean Piedmont cycle route (V81), this route, with no difference in altitude, allows you to go from Roquefort-sur-Garonne (link with the Trans Garona – V83) to Castagnède, via the thermal city of Salies-du-Salat and Mane on the right-of-way of a former railway line, for a length of 15 km. In Castagnède, you will find a connection with the Ariège greenway which will take you to Foix (via Saint-Lizier and Saint-Girons in Couserans).
