ViaRhôna by bike - Stage 21 - St-Gilles > Aigues-Mortes
IGN cards
Description
ViaRhôna, from Saint-Gilles to Aigues-Mortes.
Between Saint-Gilles and Gallician, the provisional itinerary enters the Camargue Gardoise Grand Site de France and takes you to the Centre du Scamandre.
At Gallician, near the marina, you join the greenway that takes you through the Camargue Gardoise and its exceptional flora and fauna. You'll follow the old towpaths of the Rhône-Sète canal through the marshes before reaching Aigues-Mortes, a fortified town surrounded by marshes, vineyards and salt marshes. Don't miss the view from the Tour Carbonnière to better understand this extraordinary landscape. From Gallician, two loops linked to the Vauvert - Gallician greenway will enable you to discover the surrounding countryside between vineyards, marshes and reeds.

Services for cyclists
Nearly 130 Accueil Vélo accommodations (campsites, hotels, gîtes, chambres d'hôtes) are located within 5 km of the itinerary, guaranteeing you quality services such as a closed garage for your bike. We strongly recommend that you book your accommodation in advance, especially in tourist areas.
Reception conditions for animals
It is possible to travel with a pet transported in a luggage unit. But while it's tempting to consider having your dog run alongside your bike, this won't be possible everywhere: it will often have to be kept on a leash, and must be carried on sections of the route shared with motorized traffic. Dogs may not be allowed on certain departmental cycle paths or greenways.
In France, by law, dogs must be kept on a leash on public roads and in public places, on pain of a 1st class fine (up to €38; category 3 dogs), or a 2nd class fine (up to €150; category 1 - attack dogs - and category 2 - defense or guard dogs - which must be muzzled).
Not all accommodations accept pets. If they do, a supplement and proof of vaccination may be required. Dogs are not allowed in food stores.
Open period
All year round.
Subject to favorable weather.
Type of land
Hard coating (tar, cement, flooring)
