Le Grand Tour - Part 2 - La Vélodyssée (EuroVelo 1) / Le Canal des 2 Mers (de la Garonne / du Midi)

On July 3rd 2022 I set off from The Hook of Holland in The Netherlands, turned right and pedalled off in the direction of France. It was an anti-clockwise tour of the continent; the EuroVelo 12 along the Belgian coast, the EuroVelo 4 to Dieppe, L’Avenue Verte to Paris, La Véloscénie to Mont St Michel before rejoining the EuroVelo 4 to Morlaix, the EuroVelo 1 / Vélodyssée to Royan, the Canal de la Garonne to Toulouse, the Canal du Midi to Sète, the EuroVelo 17 beside the Rhône to Andermatt in Switzerland and finally the EuroVelo 15 / Rhine Cycle Route back to The Hook of Holland and the return ferry to Hull on September 3rd.
The film comes in four parts and this is part 2 of that film that tells the story of the cycle from Morlaix in Brittany to Sète on the Mediterranean coast.
Filmed entirely on location in France, the audio extracts are taken from episodes 56 and 57 of The Cycling Europe Podcast and the music is written and performed by Rob Ainsley.
