Le Perthus / Argelès sur Mer

1 Le Perthus / Argelès sur Mer

39 km
2 h 25 min
I’m used to cycling
The cycling adventure along the Méditerranée à Vélo starts in the Pyrenees. Getting in the saddle at Le Perthus, be prepared for a demanding rhythm at the start. Make the effort to climb to Bellegarde Fort to enjoy its vast views over the Catalan mountains. Then the way becomes easier as you descend along what feels like a giant toboggan – in fact a cement track, followed by the D13C county road – whisking you down through dense forests. You’re never far from the Tech River, its valley guiding you to the sea. Then a very straight path leads you to Argelès. Branch off to explore the charming villages just off the cycle path.

I’m starting out / with the family
On this, the first coastal stage of the Mediterranean Cycle Route, it’s a joy cycling along, taking in the Med on the track running alongside the beaches of Argelès-Plage. Next comes the resort of St-Cyprien, with its commercial port and very popular seafront. Then on to Canet-en-Roussillon and the Agly Greenway, providing a majestic way to Port-Barcarès. At this port, seeing all the fish on sale will help you work up an appetite. The cycle track to Corrège Point offers a splendid view over Port-Leucate. Then enjoy the lovely track through the pines along the isthmus to Le Grau de Leucate. The panoramic cycle path around Leucate Lagoon takes you gently on to Leucate’s suburbs.
