Cycling Tour Canal du Midi France - 7 days

This cycling tour Canal du Midi in France is one of our favourites. The cycling on this tour is graded as easy, mainly flat roads and canal paths, with lots of coastal aspects, peppered with fascinating villages, including the UNESCO-listed Carcassonne.

And of course, the food and wine. Unsurprisingly for France, this region has a strong wine-growing culture. Wine varieties include a Rosé called Vin de Sable, or the crisp white of Picpoul de Pinet an ideal match to the local shellfish dishes. Near Pézénas there are prestigious vineyards producing full-bodied reds, and further south are the sparkling wines of Limoux.

We visit some amazing French towns and villages on this cycling tour, and the variety is wonderful. A highlight is the UNESCO-listed town of Carcassonne. The striking Citadelle of Carcassonne at the end of the tour was plundered for building materials until it was restored to glory in the early nineteenth century and is now one of the most visited sites in France.
