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

Bagnas Lock

Highlight • Bridge

Built around 1676, the Bagnas lock is a simple lock on the Canal du Midi, located between Agde and the Étang de Thau. It is one of the last structures on the canal before its outlet at Les Onglous, where the canal joins the lagoon. In the immediate vicinity of Bagnas, a vast coastal wetland, the lock is also associated with a spillway intended to drain excess water.

Voie Verte Canal du Midi

Highlight • Trail

Beautiful, flat trail along the Canal du Midi through an idyllic grass, bush and reed landscape. Very flowing and adventurous to ride on a sometimes very narrow but beautiful path 👍👍👍. Also suitable for MTB beginners and other bikes (spring-loaded front fork is strongly recommended 😊).

Bagnas Nature Reserve

Highlight (Segment) • River

It is difficult to imagine that between Agde and Marseillan lies one of the largest protected wetland areas on the coast. The Bagnas nature reserve, the former delta of the Hérault, long exploited for salt and then for viticulture, is today a space entirely dedicated to fauna and flora. Between lagoons, salt marshes and reed beds, this changing landscape hosts hundreds of migratory bird species each year.
