Canals & intimate rivers
Short trip
I cycle often
Leaving Avignon, romantic Cité des Papes, we cycle to the southern banks of the Rhône. The route offer an itinerary through the Camargue Gardoise, Grand Site de France. Taking the old towpaths of the Canal du Rhône to Sète, you will reach Le Grau du Roi. Access as far as the port of Sète, winding between beaches and saltwater lagoons, is not yet complete.
