Cycle along the Canal de Garonne – from Bordeaux to Toulouse
The journey begins in Bordeaux – once called “the sleeping beauty”, but today one of France’s most vibrant and charming cities. Here, you’ll find elegant boulevards, historic buildings, and a relaxed city atmosphere.
You then leave the city’s pulse behind and follow the Canal de Garonne. Over the course of about 190 kilometers, you’ll cycle at an easy pace along the canal, through lush landscapes, past locks and vineyards. This is one of France’s most beautiful cycling routes – perfect for anyone who wants to experience the countryside, culture, and joie de vivre of southwestern France.
Along the way, you’ll encounter charming villages and local markets. Stop for a sunny break on a terrace in Damazan and enjoy a glass of wine and one of the region’s specialties. Here, you’ll get a taste of authentic French living.
The journey ends in Toulouse, “the pink city”, where the brick architecture glows in the evening light and narrow streets lead you to hidden squares and cozy cafés.
