Montpellier by E-Bike: Seaside Ride to Palavas

You'll leave the city centre via the Aiguerelles district, joining the country roads around Lattes before picking up the path alongside the Lez river. From there, a dedicated cycle path follows the Étang de l'Arnel all the way to Villeneuve-lès-Maguelone — a village worth a proper look, especially the little island where the Cathedral of Maguelone stands, wild and quietly imposing. The second half of the ride shifts gears entirely: the seaside town of Palavas-les-Flots, beach time if you fancy it, then back to the city along the well-known cycle path through Port Ariane. If you've got the energy left, Les Halles de Lez is the perfect spot to grab a drink and toast the ride at the end.
