Perpignan to Manosque

Begin your journey in a serene aquatic landscape, where fish ponds grace picturesque paths winding through pine forests. Along the Canal de la Robine, marvel at the Fonseranes, an exceptional set of nine locks on the UNESCO-listed Canal du Midi since 1996. Returning to the coast, the allure of a refreshing sea dip beckons, or explore fishing ports and the rugged beauty of Camargue, where horses and bulls roam freely. Embark on a picturesque ride through traditional ‘mas’ farms, framed by olive groves, vineyards, dry-stone walls, and lavender f ields. Don’t miss the chance to ascend to a quintessential Provençal perched village, boasting charming squares shaded by plane trees, historic stone architecture, and quaint fountains. Welcome to the enchanting realm of Haute-Provence!
