Excursion à vélo d’une journée de Béziers à Sète

Béziers to Sète – Ride the Sun-Kissed Canal Route!

Starting from the historic town of Béziers, famous for its Roman roots and stunning St. Nazaire Cathedral, this cycling route winds you northeast towards the seaside buzz of Sète. You’ll cover just over 52 km, mostly on smooth, paved cycleways—a real treat for the legs!

The route is mostly flat, with gentle climbs (just around 160 meters total ascent) and a laid-back vibe as you skirt vineyards, sleepy villages, and the lazy Canal du Midi. You’ll get a glimpse of the exceptional engineering of Béziers’ 9 Locks before pedaling through classic South of France scenery—think cypress trees, olive groves, and flamingos in the lagoons.

You finish in Sète, the “Venice of the Languedoc,” celebrated for its canals, fresh seafood, and sandy Mediterranean beaches. Parking your bike by the port, reward yourself with a plate of local oysters or a dip in the sea!

Bring some water, your sunnies, and enjoy this quintessential Occitanie ride!
