The circle bike tour starts and ends in Béziers. You can extend this bike tour by several days if you wish, adding some days on the beach for example. This is a low-budget and low carbon-footprint bike tour, as such it does not include daily luggage transfers. Each adult bike we provide comes with two large waterproof rear panniers and one large front pannier. Your empty suitcases and excess baggages can be left in our shop during your trip. If you add an extra day at the end of the trip to cycle from Béziers to the beach you can come to our shop to pickup your beach items and leave behind your other items, allowing you to travel ultra-light the last day.

Meet us in our shop located 800 meters from the Canal Du Midi in Béziers. We will adjust the bikes to your size, explain the map, and provide you with waterproof panniers into which you can load your items. Excess luggage and empty suitcases will be stored in our shop garage during your trip. Start cycling the Canal Du Midi heading west. You will see the famous Nine Locks and the Malpas Tunnel today. For lunch today you will probably stop in either Poilhes or Capestang. Spend the night in a B&B in Le Somail. (Sometimes we will need to use Mirepeisset as overnight rest stop, since Le Somail only has 4 total rooms available).
Cycle past the Canal de la Jonction and the Canal de la Robine right to the hearth of Narbonne. Right along the Canal de la Jonction is situated an old Roman archaeological site called Amphoralis which can be visited for a small fee. In Narbonne you can visit several museums, all located within close proximity of your hotel.
Cycle along paved county roads back to the Canal Du Midi. Visit the Malpas Tunnel, the only tunnel on the Canal Du Midi. Since today is a shorter day, you can also spend some time visiting the Oppidum d'Enserune, a very old settlement located next to the Malpas Tunnel. The Oppidum has a very good museum. Shortly after you will pass by the famous Nine Locks of Béziers, the masterpiece of the Canal Du Midi. These locks offer a fantastic view of Béziers, the birth place of Paul Riquet (the builder of the Canal Du Midi). Cycle over the Orb aqueduct to enter Béziers.
The oldest city in France has undergone a face-lift recently and is now more welcoming to visitors as ever before. You can visit the old Roman arena here or climb the cathedral tower. Béziers has a train station and airport with connections all over France and Europe.
An extra day and night in Béziers before your trip starts. A rest day to get over jet-lag.
Explore the small city of Narbonne. Visit the cathedral and its museum. Have lunch in the Halles or one of the many great restaurants in the city center. Today also includes two optional bike rides to the beach. You can continue along the Canal de la Robine to either Port Nouvelle or Gruissan. Port Nouvelle has a train station so you could take the train back to Narbonne with the bikes, or vice versa depending on wind directions. Gruissan is closer by and is more beautiful, but has no train station so you have to go back the same way you came. There is also an extreme option of ~65Km circle ride around the La Clape mountain back to Narbonne (GPS phone app required).
An extra day in Béziers. Take a rest day or cycle to the beach along the Canal Du Midi (paved this time!) to Portiragnes Plage. For the extreme cyclists you can also cycle to Sète and take the train back with the bikes.
