About This Route
From Bordeaux's Garonne wine estates to the Mediterranean port of Sète, this route traces the historic Canal des Deux Mers, linking two of France's great wine regions: Bordeaux and Languedoc's Corbières country. Highlights include the Romanesque abbey and cloister at Moissac, part of the UNESCO-listed Santiago de Compostela pilgrim routes, and Carcassonne's fortified medieval Cité, itself a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a former Cathar stronghold during the Albigensian Crusade. From Toulouse, the "Pink City," the route follows the 17th-century Canal du Midi — a UNESCO engineering marvel — past vineyards and bastide towns to the sea.
