A flat lake-and-woodland loop with a 3.7 km fitness trail on the western edge of Toulouse.
The Base de loisirs de la Ramée is a 44-hectare lake and woodland park on the western edge of Toulouse, shared by the communes of Toulouse and Tournefeuille. Toulouse Métropole lists a 3.7 km fitness trail on the base, and paths ring the lake, so a loop of about 4 to 5 km is easy to link together. The terrain is flat and compacted, with some sandy and shaded sections.
The park has a nautical base, a boat shed, a children's play area, a boules court, table-tennis tables and an outdoor pool, the Oasis de la Ramée, run by the Tournefeuille town council. Open fires are banned. No entry fee is listed for the base, with entrances at 21 and 110 Chemin de Larramet in Tournefeuille and on Avenue du Général de Monsabert in Toulouse.
By public transport, the Métropole lists metro line A to Basso Cambo, bus 48 to La Ramée, or tram stop Arènes then bus 67 to Marquisat.
