Canal de Garonne

The Canal de Garonne might be less famous than the Canal du Midi and yet, its superb cycle path running along it makes it a great destination for self-guided cycling holidays in the South West of France. If you follow the signposted Canal des 2 Mers route between Bordeaux and Toulouse, you will be riding mostly on the greenway of Canal de Garonne. The cycle path surface is globally in a very good state. You cycle from lock to lock along the Garonne and reach without too much effort the many bastides and other emblematic cities of the South West such as Agen or Montauban. The route is however mostly running through countryside, across lowlands, orchards or along hillsides. The cycling tours along the Canal de Garonne are not too challenging and are safe for families. You will be able to relax and recharge in a region whose strongest asset is authenticity. So get ready for your next cycling holiday along the Canal de Garonne !
