Discovering Occitanie by bike is an adventure that reveals all the beauty and diversity of this region in the south of France. Among its jewels, the Canal du Midi and the Canal de la Garonne offer emblematic itineraries for bucolic strolls. Carcassonne, Avignon and Nîmes reveal their cultural and historical secrets. Occitanie is a destination that can cater for cycling enthusiasts of all abilities. While the paths of the Canal du Midi are accessible to families and novices, the slopes of the Pyrenean passes and the valleys of the Languedoc and Roussillon hinterland are more suited to more experienced cyclists. Cyclists can get up close and personal with the flora and fauna of the wetlands and banks of the Canal du Midi, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Located in the South of France, the Occitanie region exudes sun and warmth and calls for relaxation and joie de vivre. Its immediate proximity to Spain gives it a very southern and Latin tinge.
