A very nice walk under a serene early September sun. Proud to have done my 35km without electric assistance, it's very nice 😅.

September 5, 2024,🇫🇷 MTB Rundkurs Marseillan Plage - Agde - Cap d'Agde

Hello everyone,
Once again discovered a really nice bike tour with lots of facets. Everything from rural areas to port cities. Definitely bring a trekking bike. Lots of very nice places to stop for refreshments along the whole tour. Mostly all bike paths, only in Cap d'Agde along the sea for about 2-3km on a road with little traffic.

Very nice circuit to drive for everyone. Mostly away from roads. The route runs along the canal, rural area, harbor and the sea, as well as passing the well-known Aqualand and just before it a giant water bouncy castle.
Have fun......
Greetings Marcus

Then continue through the beautiful port area and then follow the cycle path directly along the beach to La Tamarissière, the district of Agde that lies directly at the mouth of the Hérault in the …
