Path of saint jacques de compostela

The GR 65 or Via Podiensis, this route that connects Le Puy-en-Velay to Santiago de Compostela, one of the four pilgrimage paths in France. During your stroll or during a week of hiking, you will experience how the pilgrims of Santiago de Compostela felt, with a stop at Lauzerte in Quercy Blanc, the “Toledo Quercynoise”, which perched atop its rocky peak, proudly dominates the surrounding valleys, then stopping at Moissac, major tourist site of the Occitanie and its magnificent Saint-Pierre Abbey, and finally stopping at Auvillar rated as one of France’s Most Beautiful Villages (its round covered market and Saint-Pierre Church).

The GR of the Pays Midi-Quercy

Located at the eastern end of the Tarn-et-Garonne, the Midi-Quercy region has a well-preserved natural environment: causse, gorges, hillsides, terraces, meadows and hedgerows with a wide variety of flora and fauna.

This area is also very important for history, heritage, gastronomy and outdoor activities, which you should discover on your journey!

The Aveyron Gorges cycling route

The two seas canal by bike

Nearly 750 kilometres on bike from the Atlantic Ocean to the Mediterranean Sea. This route can now be travelled safely thanks to the Green Lane, which extends along the Canal des Deux Mers from Royan to Sète.
