Green run-of-river rides
Take the time to follow the course of the Canal des Deux Mers in Haute-Garonne and in particular the Canal du Midi. Its work of engineering are remarkable, and a timeless beauty, along with an unrivalled inventiveness, distinguish this amazing construction conceived in the 17th by Pierre-Paul Riquet. It provides a total immersion in the characteristic landscapes of the Lauragais throughwich it passes on its way to the Mediterranean.
The canal des Deux Mers by bike
A cycling route linking the Mediterranean to the Atlantic, the Canal des Deux Mers winds for almost 800 kilometers, from the Gironde Estuary, via the Garonne Canal and the Canal du Midi, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
In Haute-Garonne, for almost 80 kilometers, the cycle greenway enables everyone to ride safely from Toulouse to the northwards (Bruguières, Castelnau-d’Estrétefonds …) and southwards (Port-Lauragais and beyond to Sète, the end of the canal).
A BICYCLE PATH ALONG THE GARONNE RIVER
A cycle route running for 106 km and following the Garonne, linking Pyrenees to the plain of Toulouse, this is one of the many possibilities open to inveterate cyclists in the Haute-Garonne! With the river for companion, the Pyrenees as backdrop and the Comminges for Nature interest, what would you say to a ride at your own pace?
