This stage marks the end of the journey, with the Mediterranean Sea and its beaches now within wheel's reach. After skirting the Rhône-Sète canal between Aigues-Mortes and Le Grau du Roi, you're now off to the Mediterranean beaches, resorts and entertainment. ViaRhôna runs through the "20th century heritage" pyramids of La Grande Motte, then along the lido between sea and salt ponds, to the foot of the Palavas-les-Flots lighthouse, close to the city of Montpellier. So grab your towels and swimsuits!

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)
