Along the Canal du Midi

Highlight • Other

This part of the route is very difficult to ride on the bike, but it is very picturesque and rewarding to drive. I would not drive if it rained or rained recently - then the track is very slippery

The Bagnas lock is the last single-chamber lock on the Canal du Midi before Sète at the end of the canal. Built around 1676, it is located 235.2 km from Toulouse at an altitude of 2 m, between the Étang de Thau to the east and the Hérault river then the Prades lock to the west.

It is located in the commune of Agde in the Hérault department in the Occitanie region.

Bagnas Nature Reserve

Highlight • Natural

Here, the landscape tells the story of the sea, the river, and human history. Formerly a space for salt pans and then cultivation, the Bagnas became a nature reserve in 1983. Between ponds, reeds, and salt marshes, this vast wetland between Agde and Marseillan is today one of the major refuges for migratory birds on the Mediterranean coast.

Highlight • River

You can cycle almost endlessly along the Canal Du Midi, partly on gravel roads and dirt, which is not recommended after rain, and often on asphalt.

Libron Works on the Canal du Midi

Highlight • Structure

The Libron works are an ingenious system of locks dating from 1855 which allow the Canal du Midi to cross the Libron without suffering the problems related to the periodic floods of the river.

August 25, 2024,Canal du Midi, Marseillan-Plage-Agde-Vias

It's usually too warm here for bike tours, but this morning it was cloudy and initially it was supposed to be "only" 27°. So we decided to go on a tour along the Canal du Midi.
But by the time we were finally ready, the sky had cleared and in no time it was 29° and a short time later …
