Languedoc Roussillon benefits from hundreds of miles of quiet roads and off road routes. It's a great place for a cycling holiday in the South of France. Please see the links on the left for more information about self-catering holidays in Aude, Languedoc Roussillon, South France.

If you're into cycling as a professional, or perhaps as a spectator sport, you may be aware that the Tour de France goes through Languedoc Roussillon and occasionally through Couiza, giving guests at Gite des Cathares a ring-side view of these top cyclists.

French drivers tend to take great care when over-taking cyclists and cycling is a very popular past-time in this area.

As the gite is large, you are welcome to store your bicycles inside.
