DAY 2 – A DAY VERY CLOSE TO NATURE, PLUS SEASIDE PLEASURES (Sainte Marie la Mer - Canet en Roussillon - Torreilles Plage - 25km)

There’s a good chance, reaching the Etang de Canet, that you’ll turn into budding naturalists, immersed in the midst of coastal landscapes made for observing birds and studying biodiversity.

Or then choose from a host of water sports, creating memories with your family, maybe learning kayaking at sea or canoeing on a river, paddle-boarding or sailing.

Get back on your bike(s) to reach Torreilles, its beach reputed for its unspoilt, natural, wild side.
And make the most of the many services on offer at the tourism residence here (pool, sauna, play area, etc), perhaps going for a memorable dinner at a typical waterside restaurant known as a paillote.

DAY 3 – TO THE HEART OF A BIODIVERSITY REFUGE (Torreilles Plage - Le Barcarès les Dosses - Rivesaltes - 42km, or 20km if you remove the section Agly/Les Dosses)

Cycle along beside the sea up to Le Barcarès and the site of Les Dosses, a spit of land advancing into the lagoon here that contains 200 plant species and 50 bird species. Spark your curiosity with a tour focusing on such figures in these natural surroundings.

Enjoy the simple pleasures, picnicking in the shade of pines at the seaside.

Get back on your bike to ride peacefully along the greenway beside the Agly River and through the parish of Rivesaltes, home of the Muscat grape, and also homeland of Marshal Joffre, French Chief of Staff during the first half of World War I.

To return to Perpignan, you could give your legs a rest, opting for a train that accepts bikes onboard. It’s swift and comfortable, making for an easy end to the day.
