Experience the beauty of rural France on this fantastic coast to
coast bike ride through sleepy villages and scenic
countryside.
Some of those moments quietly going through the French countryside will live with me forever-unforgettable!
This challenging ride starts at Bordeaux on the coast of the
Atlantic Ocean and follows the waterways of the Canal Lateral to
reach the vibrant city of Toulouse, where the famous Canal du Midi
begins.
En route along the Canal du Midi, there are amazing views across
the Languedoc plains to the Montagne Noir foothills, before
arriving in the old walled city of Carcassonne.
After four days cycling and covering a distance of more than
400km, this fantastic ride finishes in Narbonne Plage on the shores
of the Mediterranean Sea.
