The differences in climates and vegetation are notable. You will be surprised to see how quickly you move from one environment to another. The Caroux and its impressive karstic gorges succeed the Mediterranean plains. The well-maintained cycle paths along the rivers give way to small mountain roads free of traffic. The route allows you to discover a medium-sized town, rich in history, such as Béziers but also villages classified among the most beautiful in France such as Roquebrun, Vieussan or Minerve.
This route is perfect for those who, in the heart of summer, are looking for a little freshness, without moving too far from the big blue. Another advantage, and not the least, due to its location in the south of France, this course can be done in any season. In winter, don't forget to dress warmly. In the summer season, cream and sun protection are mandatory.
Its slope, in other words, its elevation, reserves this route for people with experience in this field. You can travel it by road bike or on a touring bike equipped for bikepacking or with more classic panniers. The end of each stage offers many accommodation possibilities, whether in a gîte, under a tent in a campsite or in a small hotel. Eclecticism is also on the agenda. Béziers is very well served by many trains that accept bikes in a cover or not. It is therefore quite logical that this adventure starts from the station of this city.
Enjoy your discovery!
