Village of Haute-Garonne, in Occitania, Donneville takes place in the countryside, just a few kilometers from Toulouse and its famous Cité de l'Espace. It is located in the Lauragais, right on the Canal du Midi.

Formerly owned by the archbishop of Toulouse, the town of Donneville changed hands in the 16th century before becoming independent after the French Revolution. Still today, it attracts visitors looking for a peaceful, green setting near one of the most beautiful cities in the region.

Crossed by the Canal du Midi, Donneville actually enjoys several pleasant walks to travel on sunny days. A modest architectural heritage completes this attractive and charming offer.
