Bordeaux-Toulouse

The green line and the Canal de Garonne

You’ll follow the Garonne canal, the extension of the Canal du Midi that connects Toulouse to the Mediteranean Sea. This sention is called the “Canal des Deux Mers” (the canal of the two seas), that connects the Atlantic Ocean to the Mediteranean Sea: a great itinerary between vineyards and medieval villages, along the Garonne. You will gently cross beautiful towns and cultural sites like Moissac… and don’t forget the gastronomy, inescapable in this region!

A wonderful itinerary! Everything starts in Bordeaux and on the ”Voie Verte” on 50km to Sauveterre de Guyenne and by country of Sauterne, 26km of small roads to Réole, you’ll follow the Garonne canal until Toulouse.

This flat itinerary can be done in both ways. You can choose the one that is more pratical for your access.

Itinerary

Arrival in Bordeaux and check-in in your hotel, you can get started with your bikes. You can either visit Bordeaux by bike or by foot.

Once the Garonne crossed in Bordeaux, follow the bike path ‘Roger Lapébie’ (French racing cyclist) in the middle of vineyards and forest. This path uses an ancient railway which leads you to the heart of the ‘Entre-deux-mers’.
You will leave it to reach you accommodation in Rauzan, medieval village overhanged by its castle and donjon.

You leave Rauzan and reach the bike path. It ends in Sauveterre-de-Guyenne, fortified village from de 13th
century. Follow the itinerary by small countryside routes, before joining the Canal des-deux-mers in La Réole,
small village overhanging the Garonne. Then follow the Canal and reach Marmande, the tomato capital city!

Reach the canal that you will follow to Agen. Two stops are must-be-seen places. The first at ‘Le Mas-d’Agenais’ with the church St. Vincent, pearl of the French Renaissance and the ‘Christ on the Cross’ from Rembrandt. The second one in Damazan, fortified village from the 13th century. Then arrive in Agen by one of the longest bridge-canal.

At the Mas d’Agenais, don’t miss the visit of the beautiful roman church that contains a real treasure: an authentic Rembrandt. Continue along the green canal where youwill have plenty of opportunities to stop. You pass by the town of Damezan, founded in 1259. The rest of the day continues just like the canal: calm and gentle until the village of Sérignac.

The Garonne and its canal will lead us into the heart of Toulouse (« la ville Rose », the pink city) at the end of 56 locks of the Garonne canal.

From there, along the cycle track on the banks of the Bruche canal, you will reach the capital of Europe: Strasbourg.
