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

From Sete a little further along the dunes. Then a refreshing dip in the sea before heading inland along the Canal-du-Midi to Beziers.

Today's cycling stage takes us along the idyllic Canal du Midi. The canal, which once connected the Mediterranean to the Atlantic for shipping, is now used for leisure and relaxation. There's plenty of time in the afternoon to explore Béziers on your own.

Weather getting a lot warmer and strong winds in the last few days. Need to carry more water for these conditions

June 2, 2024,EU24 Day 35 Béziers to Séte on the way to VIC-La-Gardiole (Part 1)

Left Béziers early at around 8:12 to very quiet streets straight onto the Canal du Midi which was followed to its end at Agde.
There was a lock system at Vias that was interesting as it controls the water level from the Libron River during floods to prevent that water and silt entering the canal.
