The CANAL des 2 MERS is one of the easiest and most enjoyable journeys we’ve ever taken: flat and peaceful terrain, services everywhere, and above all, superb scenery in this open-air museum that is this historic feat of civil engineering. Definitely add it to your bucket list.

Encore un plaisir de vous voir profiter de votre jeunesse. J’ai aimé voir votre intégration dans l’action longe du canal. Les bateaux,autre cycliste etc. J’aurais aimé pouvoir me situer dans le temps. C’est juste à la fin que tu dit le nombre de km parcouru dans un mois. Bravo encore.
