The Canal de la Garonne and the Canal du Midi used to be the shipping connection between the Atlantic ocean and the Mediterranean sea. Many peaceful routes run along this canal to explore the South-West. From Bordeaux to Toulouse, enjoy 7 days of cycling through vineyards, bastide towns and unspoiled countryside, along safe paths.
You will start your trip in the charming city of Bordeaux, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Explore its streets, alleys and squares, each more charming than the last, and stroll along the quays of the Garonne. Bordeaux is known as the "wine capital" of France. Before leaving the city, sample the region's wines (Saint-émilion, Pomerol, Fronsac...) and visit the "Cité du vin" with its restaurant offering panoramic views over the city.
The Canal de la Garonne will be your guide through the South-West, taking you to Toulouse, also known as "The pink city", where you will discover the famous Place du Capitole.
