Discover Pelleport

You can get to know Pelleport through its landscape, village layout and a walking route. The village is part of the Les Coteaux de la Lomagne landscape area; the Boucle du Grès-Ouest passes through Pelleport and by the Église Notre-Dame de l’Assomption. When planning your hotel stay, you can consider the landscape, history and a possible walking activity separately, then decide which matters most for your trip.

Landscape and village layout

The highest and steepest areas of the Les Coteaux de la Lomagne landscape area are found, among other places, around Pelleport. The landscape designation and information about the terrain complement one another: they place the village in its regional setting and describe a specific feature of the landscape around Pelleport. If the landscape is a factor in your travel plans, both are useful points of reference.

Within the landscape area, the D29 runs from east to west, linking Laréole, Cadours and Pelleport. Pelleport also has the layout of a street village: the town hall, church and homes extend along both sides of the departmental road or another street. The D29 provides regional orientation between the three villages, while the description “street village” refers to how the buildings are arranged within the village. This gives you both a regional and a local point of reference.

Church and historic water feature

The Église Notre-Dame de l’Assomption stands on a hill overlooking the village and part of the valley where the Marguestaud flows into the Garonne. The church’s history is also precisely dated: its bell tower collapsed in 1766, after which the church was rebuilt in the late 18th century. Its elevated location and its rebuilding after the collapse are distinct aspects that help describe the place. If you are interested in architecture or local history, the church offers a specific point of interest.

Another historical trace is the pond in Pelleport. It is the last remnant of a ditch that originated from the former moats of the Commanderie de Pelleport and flows into the Marguestaud stream. For the church, the focus is on rebuilding after an event in the 18th century; the pond points to the former water feature and its connection to the stream. Together, these places offer different insights into Pelleport’s history.

The Boucle du Grès-Ouest

The easy Boucle du Grès-Ouest walking loop is 9.2 km long, takes about three hours and has 173 metres of elevation gain. These details complement one another: the distance describes the loop’s length, the approximate duration gives you a time estimate, and the elevation gain is another measure of the route’s profile. The loop passes through Pelleport and by the Église Notre-Dame de l’Assomption. Its route therefore combines a walk with a passage through the village and past the church. Check the route information locally before setting out.
