In a few words

This cycling route begins in Montpellier, a city worth exploring with its charming historic streets in the city center. You'll leave Montpellier via small roads surrounded by vineyards, heading towards Pézenas. Then, you'll cycle through the northern Hérault region to the magnificent village of Minerve, listed as one of the "Most Beautiful Villages of France." Discover this natural landscape and this little corner of paradise. Next, you'll join the Canal du Midi, built by Pierre Paul Riquet in the 17th century, which connects the Atlantic Ocean to the Mediterranean Sea and is one of the most sophisticated engineering feats of its time! Finally, you'll arrive in Carcassonne, a must-see medieval city in the Southwest, well worth a visit and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
