Why did we choose it?
For us, it's the perfect bike, “the Rolls-Royce” for the Canal du Midi.
It swallows up asphalt for breakfast and nibbles dirt roads for lunch, even in the rain. It's the “big brother” of the Over presented above.
Its engine is smoother, its equipment is top-of-the-range, and it'll take you on a boundless adventure.
In short, we love it and recommend it to connoisseurs who want the best for their cycling vacations.

Our Traveler Comments
The comments below were left by our travelers, who were kind enough to share their experiences on TripAdvisor or Google.
Fabien – June 2025
Great welcome and service for a bike rental along the Canal du Midi. Always ready to find solutions, answer our questions, and the bikes were excellent - good battery life, well maintained.
Hannah – May 2025
Absolutely incredible! What an organized, wonderful, friendly company. We rented bikes from them for a week to cycle along the Canal du Midi & did the luggage transfer. Really really great company and would 100% use them again.
Bertrand – May 2025
It was a great adventure. We recommend Nature Occitane. They took the time to talk with us and give us advice for our trip. Thanks to them.
Patrick – April 2025
I rented an electric bike, made available at the Toulouse train station. Top-notch bike for the Toulouse - Sète route along the canal. No issues at all, very high-quality equipment. I returned the bike in Sète, where the hotel manager was very friendly. The Nature Occitane team was very responsive. I’ll be back to do the other side toward the ocean.
Armand – 2024
We arrived in Toulouse and the bikes were waiting for us exactly as requested. Very good bikes with great suspension and Schwalbe tires—the best. No problems throughout the trip. We returned the bikes in Agde, once again without any issues. I recommend Nature Occitane for bike rentals.
Bruno – June 2022
For a three-day trip along the Canal du Midi, we rented 3 electric hybrid bikes from Nature Occitane. Booking was very easy over the phone, and I could immediately tell the company was serious and well-organized. We received a very warm welcome when picking up the bikes, excellent explanations about how the e-bikes work, and custom adjustments. We were also helped loading the bikes (3 into a Scénic). The equipment was nearly new, and we had no issues during the four days. In short, a wonderful, welcoming team full of great advice, and reliable, comfortable equipment.
