Quick ride by bicycle from Saint-Jean-de-Védas to Lattes

Set off from the lively town of Saint-Jean-de-Védas, just southwest of Montpellier, and enjoy a scenic ride to Lattes, a charming spot known for its canals and birdlife on the edge of the Étang du Méjean. This roughly 15 km route is perfect for a relaxed cruise—mostly flat with a gentle descent overall, so you can take it easy and enjoy the views.

You’ll roll through peaceful suburban stretches and bike-friendly paths, with about two-thirds of the route on paved or asphalt surfaces. There are a few sections where the surface quality drops (watch for brief bits where paving’s missing), but it’s generally smooth sailing. The route is made up mostly of quiet roads and cycleways, so you can pedal without too much traffic stress.

As you enter Lattes, soak in the Mediterranean vibe—think swaying reeds along canals and maybe a flamingo sighting if you’re lucky! Finish up at the heart of Lattes for a café break or a stroll along the waterfront. Perfect for a mellow afternoon escape from the city!
