The Palavas Ponds - Cycling Loop n°27
Palavas-les-Flots
The surprising Maguelone Cathedral, perched on its island, will undoubtedly be the highlight of your outing. During this bike ride, nature is omnipresent in remarkably preserved areas. Keep your eyes open, as you will encounter numerous animals, from the laid-back flamingos perched on one or two legs to the Camargue horses and cows firmly planted on all four. This easy cycling loop is a great family outing.
