Highlights
This cycling tour starts in the beautiful city of Bordeaux and moves on to explore the Canal du Midi, its vineyards, fine food and towns and castles.

Your cycling trip will also pass through Moissac and Montauban. It will end up in Toulouse, an essential stop-off in the heart of the south west of France.

Feedbacks
Domaine de Belcayre is lovely. Several other of the hotels have been quaint and lovely as well. I love the app for the route, much improved over previous ways.
We are just finishing up part 2 here in Lauret and it has been incredible!!! All of my friends and family had a wonderful time. Thank you for all your hard work putting our vacation together. I especially liked the new gravel bikes, they are ... perfect for touring in France. Thank you so much for your help. I will contact you again soon for my next France vacation!
