At this level, we observe how the Hers crosses the Canal du Midi. The Hers valley is also home to a truly magnificent greenway!

The landscape is very beautiful, but unfortunately the cycle path here is no longer asphalted.
Luckily it was dry where I was at the moment, it must have rained a few days before.
It doesn't have to be asphalt, compacted gravel works too.
