Canal du Midi The Canal du Midi is a UNESCO World Heritage site, bordered almost all of its 240km length by striking plane trees, through a landscape rich in history, linking Toulouse to the charming port of Marseillan on the Mediterranean. This is a perfect cycling route, along flat, car free paths taking in the medieval fortified city of Carcassonne, Gothic Narbonne, and Romanesque Beziers, whilst pedalling through an ever changing landscape of vineyards, sunflowers and lavender.
