Cycling

Departing from Palavas-les-Flots, this route takes you to one of the architectural and historical gems of the region: the Cathedral of Maguelone.

You start by walking along the Occitan beaches for around five kilometers. Then you arrive on the lands of Maguelone, where the peaceful calm is only disturbed by a black-headed gull. As you advance, the thousand-year-old cathedral, classified as a “Historic Monument”, comes into view. A jewel of Romanesque art in Languedoc, it waits patiently to reveal its secrets.

After a stop in Villeneuve-lès-Maguelone, a typically southern village, the walk continues in a green setting between sea and lagoon. The path invites you on a journey of the senses through fields of vines and wild flowers.

Crossing the Canal du Rhône in Sète, you return to the starting point, ready to enjoy the guided tours of Palavas-les-Flots.

Bordered by water, this path is lovely but beware of the headwind which can quickly turn the walk into a test of strength 😆
