The Véloccitane: Green route from Naurouze to Béziers (V84)

Discover the many facets of Occitanie by bike

The Véloccitanie is an invitation to a gentle and immersive discovery of Occitanie, via a 237 km cycle route linking the Seuil de Naurouze to Béziers. Designed for cycling enthusiasts of all kinds, from e-bikes to family outings, this route offers a safe journey with over 100 km of greenways, far from motorized traffic.

Crossing four departments (Haute-Garonne, Aude, Tarn, and Hérault), the Véloccitanie unfolds a mosaic of landscapes: from the agricultural plains of the Lauragais to the wooded hills of the Haut-Languedoc Regional Natural Park, before reaching the renowned vineyards of the Hérault. The route runs alongside remarkable sites such as the Canal du Midi, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the PassaPaïs greenway, an iconic 80-km stretch between Mazamet and Bédarieux.

The route passes through charming towns such as Castelnaudary, Mazamet, Saint-Pons-de-Thomières, and Capestang, offering unforgettable cultural and culinary breaks. Between the Sorèze Abbey-School, the statue of Pierre-Paul Riquet in Béziers, and the wine-growing villages of the Minervois, each stage holds its own surprises.

For travelers wishing to extend their adventure, the Véloccitanie connects to several major routes: the Canal des 2 Mers by bike in Castelnaudary and Béziers, and the Mediterranean by bike in Le Somail. Consulting the Véloccitanie map allows you to best plan your trip and explore the many accommodation, rental, and bike repair options available along the way.

Whether you are sporty, contemplative or a budding explorer, the Véloccitanie promises an experience full of small joys, between preserved nature and heritage discoveries.
