This stage leads you along the Canal des 2 Mers Cycle Route to link up with the Lot Valley Cycle Route. From Bordeaux, the way is signposted, via Tonneins. Or an unofficial option goes from Agen via Damazan to Aiguillon. The Lot Valley Cycle Route officially starts at Aiguillon, at the confluence of Lot and Garonne Rivers. Set out from the north side of this village’s bridge over the Lot to relish an area full of architectural and gastronomic delights, including strawberry fields and plum orchards…

Route linking the Canal des 2 Mers and the Lot Valley by bike via Damazan: 

From Damazan on the Canal des 2 Mers, you can reach the Lot Valley, which stretches all the way to Cahors, offering 150 km of cycling pleasure. ⚠️Crossing the bridge is dangerous and we recommend crossing on foot via the pavement and following a busier road to reach Aiguillon, which overlooks the Garonne and Lot valleys.

Clairac and its beach on the Lot

Bathing places
Clairac
Aux confins du val de Garonne, Clairac fut le siège d’une très ancienne abbaye bénédictine. La cité médiévale perchée à quelques cinquante mètres au-dessus de la rivière offre de jolies ruelles qui desservent des maisons à pan de bois et des hôtels particuliers dont certains abritent restaurants et chambres d’hôtes. Des musées offrent de découvrir sa riche histoire. Au pied du village, Clairac dispose d’une petite plage au bord du Lot près de son camping.
