Balma, Administrative commune in Haute-Garonne, France.
Balma extends across 1,660 hectares of land east of Toulouse, featuring residential neighborhoods and municipal facilities at elevations between 135 and 218 meters.
The settlement originated in 1279 when the bishopric of Toulouse established a fief, with the name deriving from a Provençal term meaning cave or grotto.
The Balmanais population maintains strong connections with Toulouse Métropole through regular cultural events, improvised performances, and community council initiatives.
The municipality provides regular waste collection services throughout the year, with specific arrangements for bulky items and green waste disposal through designated channels.
