2025 France & Spain Adventure - Bezier & Narbonne

 Total distance:  527.4 kms

Total Elevation: 1,770 meters

The ride to Beziers was along the Mediterranean for the first 20 kms and then headed inland and along the canal du Midi. It was a warm and sunny day with beautiful views. Once in Beziers however we had to climb up two long streets to reach our hotel. 

Riding along the Canal du MIDI. 

The ride to Narbonne was again partly along the canal du MIDI and partly on small roads through farms and small towns. We arrived in Narbonne and discovered we had booked the same hotel we had stayed in 2017 on our trip around the Iberian peninsula before returning to US from living in Luxembourg for three years.
