Highlights
Cycling in Languedoc from Carcassonne takes you on a relatively easy cycling trip along the famous Canal du Midi to finish on the Mediterranean coast in Sete. We include some key cities such as Narbonne and Beziers which offer important historical sites and are yet so typical of this southern France coastal region. Experience the rural French and southern lifestyle while enjoying both the key waterway of the canal and the inviting Mediterrean. Early arrivals at Carcassonne allow enough time to experience the marvelous and intact medieval cite of Carcassonne, one of the most beautiful villages of France.
This would be a great add on to our Carcassonne Countryside Tour to make a 2 week visit of the best of Languedoc !
During the harvest season, cellar visits and wine tasting are subject to availability and security conditions. During this period, it may be difficult to book these activities. For more information, please contact your travel consultant.
