Episode 11 – France’s Canal du Midi: 200 km of pure magic after the rain again! 🚴‍♂️🌊

After tough weather periods, we finally hit the legendary Canal du Midi – one of the most peaceful and beautiful cycling paths in Europe. Flat, tree-lined towpaths, historic locks, charming villages, and that endless calm water… 200 km of pure bliss and easy riding that felt like a reward.

Then we turned north onto the V81 (Piémont Pyrénéen) greenway in the Pyrenees foothills – old railway converted into stunning voie verte with long, lit tunnels, gentle slopes, and epic valley views. But the weather turned again: cold, wet, and relentless. Legs heavy, rain soaking us… but those tunnels and greenway vibes kept us going.

France keeps testing us – and we keep loving it!

Thank you for being with us through the highs and the lows.

  1. Very nice canals and tunnels!
    Hope the clicking on your bike doesn't get worse. If the arm of the pedal gets loose, it could be a broken bottom bracket 🫣
    how did you film both of you from behind? 😮
