La Voie Verte – Capestang – Cruzy

La Voie Verte is a 12 km long bike lane created in 2014 between Capestang and Cruzy offering pedestrians, and cyclists a safe no traffic pathway to explore the celebrated countryside of the Languedoc region. They have converted the old railway track by filling it with soil and stabilizing it to a flat, easily manageable route between de Avenue de la Gare in Capestang to the former train station in Cruzy.

This route starts on the edge of the Canal du Midi in Capestang, making it easily accessible for people wishing to divert from the canal bike path; passing near the villages of Puisserguier, Creissan and Quarante. It takes you through the vineyards and offers views of the surrounds countryside.
