As a travel agency specialising in cycling on the Canal du Midi and the Canal de la Garonne, we take great care in the selection and maintenance of the equipment we provide to our travellers. Each model is rigorously chosen for its intended use.

As a father of a 2 year old baby who loves to share time on the bike with his family, I also take the greatest care in the selection of the equipment dedicated to children.
Our team of mechanics upkeep the bikes after each ride, and we regularly renew our biking stock.

In addition, we offer breakdown assistance for major breakdowns, with an on-call phone 7 days a week from 9am to 7pm.

Premium Trek Bike






Why did we choose it ?


A reference model from the American brand Trek, it is particularly suitable for a comfortable trip.

Adjustable position, complete equipment, well studied geometry, it's a choice model for a week on the Canal du Midi by bike.


We like :


  • Its front suspension & suspended seatpost to absorb shocks

  • The "bucolic" position & the easy descent/ascent of the bike

  • Comfortable "Royal saddle"

  • Its anti-puncture tyres

  • Its ergonomic handles

  • Its 24 gears to manage your effort at best


NB: depending on availability at the time of booking, we may be able to offer you a model of a higher category (Shimano Nexus transmission system).


Premium Trek electric bike




Why did we choose it ?



This model from American brand Trek is particularly well suited for epicureans or for people who are not very comfortable on a bike.

The Bosh Active motor, the current reference, is particularly harmonious and powerful.
Its low centre of gravity, ergonomic handlebars and grips and easy straddling will ensure your comfort during your journey.


We like : 


  • Its Bosch Active 40Nm motor and 400W battery

  • Its handles and comfortable saddle

  • The easy straddling if you are surprised and have to put your foot down quickly

  • The seriousness of this historical brand in the VAE

  • The powerful braking

  • Its anti-puncture tyres


NB : depending on availability at the time of booking, we may be able to offer you a model of the same category (Trek brand).



Trek 24" or 26" child's bike (children between 1m30 and 1m60)






Why did we choose it ?


The Wahoo 24" or 26" from the American brand Trek is a light, simple and versatile bike perfect for a family bike trip on the Canal du Midi or the Canal de la Garonne.

We have chosen nice colours in order to combine quality with the pleasure your child will have in discovering "his bike" for the holidays !


We like : 


  • The 8-speed single-plate transmission simplifies gear changes

  • Its lightness

  • Its devastating look! :-)


NB: Followme towing system not usable with children's bikes of this size.


Trek child's bike size 12" to 20" (children between 90cm and 1m60)






Why did we choose it ? 


Our Trek Precaliber 12", 16" and 20" children's bikes allow us to offer you a perfect fit for your child.

It's a serious, safe and comfortable bike ready to welcome your child for a great family adventure !


We like : 


  • Its well thought-out ergonomics : brake levers for small hands

  • Its lowered frame, which makes it easier for your child to stop

  • Its single speed, sufficient for use on the canal


NB: we can of course remove the wheels if your child is already independent.


Follow me towing system



























Why did we choose it ? 



Because for us, this is a real revolution in family cycling !

The Follow me towing system allows you to take your child along safely and let them ride on their own as soon as they want to pedal independently.  As soon as they want to rest, attaching or detaching them to your rear wheel is a matter of a few simple steps.

We like : 


  •  The child is kept perfectly straight and stable behind you

  • The fact that you don't feel the system when your child is pedalling independently

  • An adventure shared with the whole family

  • The smile of a child pedalling towards independence !


Deluxe Thules cross 2 child trailer





Why did we choose it ? 


Because we want the best for our children, and this is simply the top of the range model from the Swedish brand Thule.


We like : 


  • Adjustable suspension for a smooth ride

  • One-handed reclining seat for naps

  • Sunshade, waterproof cover and mosquito net for baby's comfort

  • Easy to adjust air vents for optimal air flow and temperature control

  • XL storage space and 2 comfortable seats

  • Overall safety of the trailer


Child trailer Weehoo





Why did we choose it ?


Because this model of trailer is compact and along the bike. This makes it possible to travel on narrow paths without minimizing the comfort or safety of the child.

We like :


  • Stability

  • Signal flag at the back 

  • The child is active by participating in the pedaling

  • Safety, the child strapped in the seat with a 3-point harness

  • Comfortable sitting position

  • Luggage compartments at the rear wheel


Luggage trailer BOB Ibex



























Why did we choose it ? 


The Bobibex bicycle trailer is a classic for bicycle travel.  Many globetrotters have chosen it for their round-the-world trips for almost 20 years.
The single wheel and shock absorber make it possible to enjoy the most beautiful cycling trips on all types of roads.


We like : 


  • Ease of use

  • Suspension and build quality

  • Cycling on a bike without the weight of the panniers

  • Single wheel with shock absorber

  • Being able to easily slip in a good bottle of wine  ;-)


Ortlieb 20l waterproof rear bag and Ultimate 6 5l handlebar bag



waterproof rear case ortlieb bikewaterproof front bag rental canal du midi by bike

The Ortlieb brand is a reference in waterproof bicycle bags.

The 20 litre rear pannier offers a good capacity, while remaining stable on the carrier in all circumstances.

The 5 litre Ultimate 6 handlebar bag allows you to put your things that you want to keep easily accessible (leaflet holder, sunglasses...).
The touchscreen pocket is particularly useful to enjoy your road book !


We like : 


  • The touch-sensitive smartphone pocket of the handlebar bag

  • The stability and waterproofness of the panniers in all circumstances

  • The fact that you can cycle without a backpack !
