A guidebook to cycling the Canal de Garonne in the south of France. It describes a 260km route from Bordeaux to Toulouse in 7 stages, as well as a 135km excursion to Lacanau on the Atlantic coast. Optional side trips explore the countryside and historical towns and villages, including Agen, Moissac, Marmande and Montauban. Mainly flat and easy cycling, including 193km along the main canal towpath, this is an easy route suitable for lone cyclists, families, groups and those using e-bikes. It is best cycled in spring, summer or autumn. Bustling Bordeaux is the starting point for a voyage of discovery through the beautiful Gascon countryside to the splendid rose city of Toulouse. The cycle track brings you in touch with wildlife, history, culture and those who live and work there.
