In the afternoon cycle past natural springs where you can take a refreshing swim in crystal clear waters. A few kilometers farther you will cycle by an old cave where caveman used to live. The bones found in this cave were the oldest human bones ever found at the time. However, there is no sign here pointing to this cave. Only our map shows this location!
Cycle south to the Canal Du Midi and visit Le Somail, one of the original overnight stops for the passenger boats on the Canal Du Midi in the 1600's. Head to Narbonne following the Canal de La Robine. In Narbonne visit the Cathedral and its museum with cavemen. The old Roman road is still visible in front of the Cathedral.
Head north again joining the Canal Du Midi at the Malpas Tunnel. Here the Canal Du Midi flows through a mountain. Shortly after you will cycle by the famous Nine Locks of Beziers, the masterpiece of the entire Canal Du Midi. Here ships descent 21 meters before joining the aqueduct crossing the Orb River into Beziers.
The oldest city in France has undergone a facelift recently and is now more welcoming to visitors as ever before. You can visit the old Roman arena here or climb the cathedral tower. Beziers has a train station and airport with connections all over France and Europe.
Spend the day in Caunes-Minervois to visit its old abbey. A lovely circular nature walk is possible as well this day, allowing you to visit the Carriere du Roy, an old marble quarry that has been in use since the Roman times. This red marble can be seen all over the region, and in its time it was even exported to Italy. There is also a hidden church close to this quarry whose interior is extraordinary and its surroundings are very peaceful.
