Voie Verte, Veloroute from Limoge to Narbonne and back

infopete

Hi,

We are cycling from north of Limoge to Narbonne (ish) turning round and cycling back.

We intend to head for the end of the Canal du Midi and cycle a bit of that.

But it looks like there are lots of cycle ways we could use on both legs on the route but I can't find a definitive map of "voies verte" for the journey.

Has anyone done this or does anyone know of a map (electronic if possible) of the cycleways in France?

Andy,

I'm hoping my wife will pick up the booklet while she is in Nice this week.

Do you know if there is a map of France that shows all the voies vertes so I can do some route planning?

I haven't bought it yet, but the IGN Randonnees a Velo map is the best bet that I know of. For 5 euros it looks worth a punt.

Here's the link to the details on the IGN website:

It's available from amazon.fr (see link above) or from IGN direct or (proobably) from Stanfords.

Hi,

That looks exactly what I'm looking for.

Many thanks
