Waking up in Castets et Castillon, we quickly find our route for the next several days: the Canal du Garonne. This is the westernmost point of the Canal des Deux Mers, which stretches from here where the River Garonne is reliably navigable, along the Canal du Garonne to Toulouse and then via the Canal du Midi to Agde, Sète, and the Mediterranean, some 450 km away. We ride along what has to be the most pristine bike path either of us have experienced, with miles of riding along tree-lined canals and through quiet French villages. After an overnight in Damazan, we continue on this gem of a trail, through fruit-growing regions and of course, more vineyards, to the Pont-canal d’Agen, a 1768 foot long aqueduct and a spectacular feat of engineering, one of many on this route. Then through the city of Agen, and on to the village of Valence d’Agen, where we take a well-deserved rest day in the rain, and meet the lovely owner of an outstanding restaurant who shares her story. An absolutely fabulous stretch of bicycle touring!
