Cornebarrieu is located in the Haute-Garonne department, in close proximity to Toulouse, blending rural charm with the dynamism of the French aerospace industry. While part of the municipal territory borders the massive Toulouse-Blagnac airport and is economically shaped by the presence of Airbus facilities, the historical center has preserved its original character. At the heart of the village stands the Saint-Clément church, whose origins date back to the 11th century, standing out with its typical bell gable. Another significant historical monument is the Château de Pontié, an elegant 18th-century manor house surrounded by extensive green spaces. Along the small Aussonnelle river, visitors and locals alike can find quiet walking paths that offer a pleasant respite from the industrial bustle of the nearby metropolis. The municipality places great emphasis on preserving its natural areas, allowing hikers to easily discover the local flora and fauna on short trails.
