Embark on a seven-day journey from the picturesque Bordeaux to the charming Toulouse, traversing historic waterways. The renowned Canal du Midi, linking the River Garonne to the Mediterranean, boasts a charming landscape and ancient locks. Once a bustling trade route, it now serves leisure boating enthusiasts. Experience the enchantment firsthand as you savor local specialties and wines, indulging in the quintessential French way of life.
Discover Bordeaux on foot before embarking on your two-wheeled journey. As you traverse the "Entre Deux Mers" wine-growing region, you'll encounter castles and châteaux lining your route. Follow the "La Voie Verte" cycle path, named after a Tour de France champion, as you pedal from La Réole to Le Mas d'Agenais.
Make sure not to depart without glimpsing the artistic treasure within the church—a genuine Rembrandt awaits. The route winds scenically along the Canal du Midi, adorned with treasures like Bastide de Damazan. Crossing occasional bridges, you'll be accompanied by orchards and vineyards as you journey toward Moissac. The finale is truly picturesque as you pedal from lock to lock, leading you to Toulouse.
The French are experts at savoring life's pleasures. Follow their lead and take your time to stop along the way and absorb the surroundings. This moderately challenging route alternates between plains and hills. The local Eurobike team is available via the service hotline throughout your entire journey to assist you as needed.
Cycling vacations in France combine activity with life's finest pleasures. The historical architecture takes your breath away, while nature restores your energy. Whether in Alsace or Brittany, explore this country on two wheels.
Arrival in Bordeaux and check-in in your hotel, you can get started with your bikes. You can either visit Bordeaux by bike or by foot.
Once you cross the Garonne River in Bordeaux, follow the "Roger Lapébie" bike path (named after the French cyclist) through vineyards and forests. This route follows an old railway line that takes you to the heart of the "Entre-deux-mers." You will leave it to reach your accommodation in Rauzan, a medieval village dominated by its castle and tower.
You leave Rauzan and take the cycle path. It ends in Sauveterre-de-Guyenne, a fortified village dating back to the 13th century. Follow the route along small country roads until you reach the Canal des-deux-mers in La Réole, a small village overlooking the Garonne. You then follow the canal to Marmande, the Tomato Capital!
Follow the canal all the way to Agen. Two stops are a must. The first is in "Le Mas-d'Agenais," home to the St. Vincent Church, a gem of the French Renaissance, along with Rembrandt's "Christ on the Cross." The second stop is in Damazan, a fortified village from the 13th century. You then head to Agen via one of the longest aqueduct bridges.
This stage continues through Valence d'Agen, a medieval village with a rich cultural and natural heritage, where cycling tourists are warmly welcomed. You arrive in Moissac, an essential stop on the pilgrimage route of St. James of Compostela. Visit the old Benedictine abbey, its cloister, and the church, whose tympanum is one of the largest examples of Romanesque art.
On this final stage, you can enjoy the tranquility of the canal before entering the lively and famous "Ville Rose." The villages along the way invite you to stop for lunch or to relax. You will reach Toulouse via the Canal du Midi, away from traffic. Be sure to visit the city center! Stroll through the renowned 'Place du Capitole,' see the Basilica of St. Sernin, and explore the Jacobin Monastery...
The cycle route along the Canal de Garonne largely runs along towpaths, cycle paths and a few roads with little traffic. The first two stages have a few climbs, after which the route continues at a more leisurely pace. As you also cycle on unpaved paths in places, this tour can be categorised as moderately difficult.

Things to note
"We look forward to making your holiday dreams come true"
Tolle Tour entlang des Canal de Garonne auf sehr guten Wegen abseits des Verkehrs bis ins Zentrum von Toulouse. Schon in Bordeaux gelangt man ohne nennenswerten Straßenverkehr aus der Stadt und auf die Strecke. Sehr schöne Unterkünfte, mal Hotel, mal B&B mit extrem freundlichem Personal, geschmackvoll eingerichtet und sehr sauber. Gerade in den B&B Unterkünften besonders liebevolles, individuelles Frühstück. Hervorragende Organisation ab Buchung, sehr kommunikationsstarkes Team, das sich um alle Fragen ...
