푸졸-미네르부아 최고의 사이클링 경로

The section posted for this Highlight is in the town of Sallèles-d'Aude so you have a lot of people walking in this section. Dog walkers with dogs not on leads, families taking the whole path etc., so whilst it is pretty in can be annoying when biking, This was in the last days of Oct. '25 so I think in summer it would be almost impassable at times. The other way towards the Gailhousty Lock and eventually Narbonne is much quieter if you want to ride unhindered by walkers & dogs, especially if you take the wide gravel track on the other side of the canal from the Vioe Verte.

A landmark on the way to Minerve. You'll face a bit of a climb.

a good way to stock up

very smooth

Picturesque town with a large arched bridge.

Beautiful place. For me one of the most beautiful villages in France.

I'm following up on Paul's comment: Yes, the canal is a great immersion in history and the region However, don't hesitate to make a few forays outside the canal... we made a detour via Revel going up the channel, then climbed a little on the mountain, and it was also very nice. In summer, the canal is very busy...

Pedaling along the Canal du Midi near Marseillette will transport you back in time to the 17th century. This historic waterway, a masterpiece of engineering, winds through picturesque countryside, offering stunning views of vineyards, rolling hills and charming villages. You can explore the canal’s locks, admire ancient bridges and visit the historic cities of Carcassonne and Narbonne.
