  • CANAL DU MIDI BIKE 8 Night I WANT IT ALL 2021
    DETOURS IN FRANCE www.detours-in-france.com CANAL DU MIDI BIKING EXPLORE FRANCE AT YOUR OWN PACE Day 1: Arrival in Toulouse Upon your arrival in Toulouse, settle in to your hotel and freshen up, and then take some time to explore this lovely city. The capital of both the French department, and the larger Midi-Pyrenees Region, Toulouse is also the heart of Europe’s aerospace industry, home of both France’s Airbus Company and also a great attraction park, the Cité de l’Espace. Its world renowned university is one of the oldest in Europe (founded in 1229), and it was already the capital of the Visigoth Kingdom in the 5th century! A city with unique architecture made of pinkish terracotta bricks, earning it the nickname la Ville Rose ("the Pink City"), Toulouse counts two UNESCO World Heritage sites, the Canal Du Midi, and the Basilica of St. Sernin, which lies on the Santiago de Compostela pilgrimage route. Day 2: Toulouse to Castelnaudary 66 Km / 41 Miles You have a long, but easygoing ride today, as it is very flat, and almost completely on lovely, paved bike path. Pass your first locks and canal projects on route to the small town of Castelnaudary, built on the foundations of the original Roman town. It is hard to imagine the centuries of warfare incurred here, as you wander the lovely small streets, eventually loved by Catherine de Medicis, when, as King Henri II’s wife, she becomes Countess of the region. The port here is developed as one of the main stops for barges on the Canal du Midi’s route, with a large (7 hectare) water basin.

    Trip description 4-day cycle trip from Toulouse to Carcassonne along the Canal du Midi Self-guided cycle tour along Canal du Midi: from Toulouse to Carcassonne in 4 days Destination France Location Canal du M idi Duration 4 day s Dif f iculty Lev el Easy Validity From M arch 31 to Nov 1 M inimum age 9 y ears old Ref erence M 0402 Ty pe of stay itinerant trip Itinerary This 4-day cycle tour along the Canal du Midi rallies two major milestones of the canal : Toulouse, the Ville Rose and Carcassonne, the medieval fortress. You ride quietly sometimes on cycle paths or the hauling path along the canal, sometimes on low-traffic country roads. You will cross the Lauragais, a large fertile plain surronded by hills that flourished on the 15th and 16th centuries thanks to pastel trade, which also brought prosperity to Toulouse. The village churches with their characteristic fortified bell towers are a heritage of this rich past. You ride through Castelnaudary, the proud capital of cassoulet, and the charming abbey of Saint-Papoul before arriving in Carcassonne at the foot of the impressing medieval fortress. Day 1 Toulouse - Toulouse - Montesquieu-Laurageais area Montesquieu- Laurageais area Bike ~30km Bike ~30km You leave Toulouse on a cycling path along the Canal du Midi and enjoy riding out of the city away from cars, lulled by the soft sound of the water. You reach the first villages of the Lauragais, an area where the landscape is dotted with typical flat bell towers like in the village of Montesquieu-Lauragais.
