Cycling travel in the Cathar Chateaus Area
Bike Tour to visit the Cathar Castels in South France
7 days / 6 nights
The cathar castles were built on the top of mountains, so if you want to visit them you need to be firm on the pedals !
At Languedoc Nature, we know pretty well the area, so we organise quality routes. It means that we design the itinerary throughout roads with low traffic to let you discover peacefully the landscapes in Languedoc.
The choice of the hotels, gites, B&B, restaurants and other suppliers is one of our main concern. We are willing our clients to experience the best during their holidays with us.
