Excursión ciclista de un día de Toulouse a Carcasona

Here’s a scenic cycling route from Toulouse to Carcassonne—two jewels of southern France! Starting in Toulouse, the lively “Pink City,” you’ll roll out past stately boulevards and bustling cafés before hitting quieter roads along the Canal du Midi. The ride’s about 106 km, mostly on paved or asphalt surfaces (with some sections of gravel and unpaved track to keep things interesting).

Expect some gentle ups and downs as you pedal through sun-soaked countryside dotted with vineyards, sleepy villages, and perhaps the odd field of sunflowers. You’ll climb a total of around 400 meters, so there are a few hills, but nothing too wild.

After a mellow ride, you’ll roll into Carcassonne—a real-life medieval fortress with stone walls and fairy-tale towers. Make time to wander the cité and soak up the history. It’s an unforgettable end to a classic southern French adventure, perfect for a day in the saddle!
