500 meters from Grenade town center, yet in a quiet location, where every Saturday we hold the region's most famous market (with many local producers) in the remarkable 13th-century covered market hall.

Bus from Grenade, streetcar from Beauzelle 15 minutes away, Blagnac airport 20 minutes away.
Tourist office in Grenade opposite the Halle (I'll be putting together a compendium of information on places to visit).
The setting
Grenade is located in the northern suburbs of Toulouse, a town of 9,000 inhabitants with all amenities (various shops, supermarkets, doctors, pharmacies, etc.). We have our own cinema! We're in the middle of a triangle between the Gers, Tarn et Garonne and Tarn rivers. Many walks, village visits, Aéroscopia museum, Cité de l'Espace, Zoo African Safari, etc.). We're on the road to Spain - close to the St Jacques de Compostelle pilgrimage route. Quiet little town, municipal lights off between midnight and 6:00 am. After 6:30-7:00 pm it's very quiet. My house is in a quiet residential area.
The spots
The site for the tent is on my lawn at the front of my house, and flat, a little shade at the end of the day, surrounded by hedges on 3 sides, the 4th side you can see the rooms of the house (I reassure you, they are almost never used except when I have my 2 small children during their school vacations). The plot is flat. It's about 5 m x 4 m - Suitable only for tents (and of dimensions that match, because around it are flowerbeds + - flowering depending on the season) - You can park a vehicle (max 5.50m long) in my yard (it's a bit sloping so if it's a van and you sleep in your van - Careful you might sleep leaning, or you have a tent and so it'll be more adequate - you can't park a vehicle on the lawn - no access possible). The courtyard is enclosed by a gate - so it's safe. I can also park 2 light vehicles, so if you're traveling with several people... Your bicycles can be left on your pitch. Your panniers/luggage can be stored in the garage/garden shed to protect them from overnight damp.
The sanitary facilities
You'll have access to a shower room (with hot water) and WC, as well as access to the sink in the laundry room to wash your dishes and take water (it's drinkable). I don't mind the hours as it's in the extension of the house just behind the garage, so I'm not bothered by noise. I ask you to respect the cleanliness of the premises and installations which are very very recent. I'm not an uncompromising ecologist, but I do try to be thrifty with my water consumption - I'm trying to pass this on to my grandchildren ...
The amenities
Please note: there is no electricity at the tent site. (After midnight, the commune switches off public lighting - bring your flashlight). You can leave your cell phone to be charged inside (in the garage or laundry room). I'm also happy to put a few groceries in my fridge, and even freeze the bins in the freezer. A garden table and 4 chairs are at your disposal on the pitch, where you have access.
If the mosquitoes like you, don't forget the mosquito repellent!
The activities
Golf in Seilh (10mn by car) Montauban (25m)

Many visits to picturesque villages (St Cirq la popie, Cahors, Albi, but also in the gers, tarn and tarn et garonne ....) and of course Toulouse la rose!

if your vehicle is a motorcycle - you can park it in my courtyard for the duration of your stay only - same for cars
The courtyard is gated - so it's safe. I can also park 2 light vehicles, if you're traveling with several people... As for bicycles, I can park them in the garden shed: 1 for sure, possibly 2, but without the panniers which take up space. These can be put in the garden shed or garage to escape the damp on certain nights.
