Take a last look back at the great papal city before ViaRhôna leads you across the Rhône into the county of the Gard. At the end of the Pont du Royaume, follow the purpose-built cycle path, which loops beneath the bridge before joining a quiet, tree-lined road overlooking the Rhône. Then the route zigzags between vineyards and orchards before joining the Pont du Gard Greenway, heading to the Rhône-side port of Beaucaire, designated a Ville d’Art et d’Histoire for its rich historical legacy, and set at a point where the regions of Languedoc and Provence meet.

Leaving Beaucaire, you'll cycle along a new greenway linking the marinas of Beaucaire and Saint-Gilles. The route follows the towpath of the Rhône–Sète Canal almost all the way, making for an easy, enjoyable ride where cyclists and passing boaters exchange friendly greetings. Bellegarde's marina is a welcome place to stop before continuing along the canal to Saint-Gilles, nestled at the foot of the Costières hills, with its medieval centre and abbey church.

The ViaRhôna route has been set up between Gallician and Aigues-Mortes. On this stage along a greenway, you cross a portion of the Camargue Gardoise (the western, Languedoc side of the Camargue). The flora and fauna are exceptional. You cycle along the former towpaths beside the Canal du Rhône à Sète, crossing through typical marshland to reach the splendid walled port of Aigues-Mortes, set amidst marshes, vineyards and saltpans. Take in these extraordinary landscapes from the top of the Tour Carbonnière, an historic guards’ tower. Two further cycling circuits starting from Gallician enable you to discover more of the surrounding vines, marshes and reedbeds.

This stage marks the end of the whole ViaRhône route, with the Mediterranean and its beaches beckoning, and very easily accessed by bike. First you need to cycle alongside the Canal du Rhône à Sète between Aigues-Mortes and Le Grau-du-Roi. Then you ride alongside the Mediterranean and its beaches, with lively resorts and activities all around. ViaRhôna takes you meandering along the beachfront, between the sea and the salt lagoons behind. Have your swimsuits and towels at the ready!

From Palavas-les-Flots, close to the bigger city of Montpellier, the itinerary is winding between beaches and saltwater lagoons. Do not miss the Maguelone Cathedrale where you will glimpse at the massif of Gardioles covered with its garrigues. A shellfish tasting while sipping a glass of "Muscat de Frontignan" will be your rewards for this last stage of the ViaRhôna. The arrival to the Sète Harbor, at the edge of the Etang de Thau, marks the end of the adventure.
