26,10 km cycling route from Béziers to Agde

From the port at Béziers, the Canal du Midi à Vélo cycle route heads east towards the Mediterranean. You might halt briefly at Villeneuve-lès-Béziers or at Portiragnes before arriving at the Pont de Roque Haute. From here, Portiragnes Beach lies very close by and you can reach it easily for a refreshing dip in the Med! Further on, the mobile bridge built to control the River Libron and the round lock at Agde are extraordinary curiosities.

The route

The first part of the stage makes for easy cycling on the towpath to the Roque Haute bridge. At this point, the route leaves the canal to take a temporary section (with signage) on small road, before reaching the banks of the Hérault up to the city centre of Agde.

Additional route
At the level of Pont de Roque Haute, there is a cycle track to Portiragnes Beach.
