It's an emblematic route. We suggest you complete this tour on your road bike or VTC. It's a magnificent route, almost exclusively on pistes or voies vertes, suitable for all types of bike. The pond is omnipresent. Between Mèze and Balaruc-les-Bains, you'll overlook it slightly, with oyster beds running parallel as far as the eye can see. You can admire it from the pointe des Onglous, with its view of Mont Saint-Clair. Cross over to land via the footbridge after Bouzigues.
The tour also features a wide variety of sections, from the bustle of Sète to the tranquility of Bouzigues, from the lido path that shoots straight through the dunes to the corniche de Sète that winds its way through the creeks. A must!
