Les Amidonniers
Nestled between the Garonne River and the Brienne Canal, Les Amidonniers is a neighborhood in the northwest of the city. Formerly a working-class neighborhood, it has now become a residential area with a young, family-oriented population, in a wooded area that is very pleasant to live in.
The district is composed of both Toulousaines, old renovated farmhouses, and more recent buildings such as the Espace EDF Bazacle, which is one of Toulouse’s most important cultural sites. Well served, it is linked to the city by numerous bus lines that run frequently every day, as well as by the VélôToulouse network.
Education is at the heart of the district’s concerns, which is oriented towards youth and its development, with several day care centers, an elementary school and several schools of higher education. Various sports facilities and green spaces punctuate its landscape, allowing it to combine both sports and leisure. The green corridor that crosses the entire district is probably one of the most beautiful walks in Toulouse. The landscaped dyke is also very popular with families and runners who can go from the city center to Blagnac on a beautiful route along the Garonne.
There are also many restaurants, cafés and bars that allow for meetings with friends or family throughout the year. This district offers many friendly places and beautiful walks and is ideal for those who like calm and “good living” close to the city center.
