This morning you go through 'Mas d'Agenais, a peaceful, pretty village and ancient Roman settlement, with its 17th century corn halls and attractive five-sided communal laundry.

Day 5:
THE CANAL DE LA GARONNE FROM Sérignac sur Garonne TO MOISSAC
Distance: 55km
This stage allows you to discover two beautiful towns of south west France: Agen and Moissac. After orchards of fruit trees so characteristic of the Lot and Garonne, you arrive in Moissac. We invite you to take the time to visit this important town on the path to Santiago de Compostella, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Night in Moissac. -
Day 6:
THE CANAL DE LA GARONNE FROM MOISSAC TO TOULOUSE
Distance: 67km
Your route goes through yhe charming town of Montech, with its half timbered, red brick houses. As for the cycle path this is along a peaceful "voie verte" or green way, with a good surface and shaded by plane trees.
Your holiday ends upon arrival in Toulouse if you choose the 5 night/6 day trip from Bordeaux to Toulouse.
Option :
If you wish to make the most of being in Toulouse, with time to explore, then we can recommend a B&B which we particularly like. Your host, Olivier, will welcome you into an authentic “Toulousaine” with garden, veranda and elegant salons. Living in Toulouse ourselves, we really want you to like the city as much as we do! Olivier will advise you on the unmissable places to visit as well as some lesser known spots!
Night in Toulouse.
Tariff for this option: 50€ per person based on a shared double room. 80€ in a single room. Breakfast included.
NB: If you wish to shorten this day's stage (or avoid the outskirts of Toulouse) then you could consider taking a train from Montauban or Castelnau-d'Estréfonds. We recommend visiting Montauban, a town of art and history.
Please contact us for further details.
