This route is an ideal getaway to combine heritage, nature and gourmet pleasures.
Explore the Pink City and its treasures (the Capitole, the banks of the Garonne), stroll in the shade of the plane trees to Castelnaudary, the capital of cassoulet. History awaits you in Carcassonne, where the medieval city, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, stands proudly. Along the way, you can admire Vauban's works, such as the Argent-Double hydraulic system's spillway at La Redorte, and wander through the lively ports of Trèbes and Homps, the heart of the Minervois vineyards. You'll arrive in Narbonne, proud of its Roman past and its cathedral, but first, cycle to Béziers, whose nine locks and canal bridge will impress you. And almost at the end of your adventure, head towards the Mediterranean, the beaches of Portiragnes and the ancient basalt city of Agde, to the Thau lagoon and the bubbling waters of Sète, where a final swim awaits.
