That's what really got me in France - old railway lines that have been converted into great cycle paths. It goes on good ground over bridges and tunnels (illuminated) without noticeable increases through the country. Everything is mostly well signposted.

Beautiful greenway to go from St-Girons to Boussens (or vice versa!). Less nice than from Foix to St-Girons but still good! On the other hand, compared to some photos, there is no tunnel on this part, you have to go towards Foix for that!
