SAINT-FELIX-LAURAGAIS
Ideal for a family outdoor activity. Pedal your way through nature on a shady, bucolic course. Departures from morning to night. Better than a bicycle, more than a tandem, the velorail promises an unusual ride. Traduction automatique par DeepL via DATAtourisme
Discover a remarkable heritage, the 7 km round trip takes 1h15. The history of this old railroad line began on April 16, 1865.
The route is in the heart of nature, crossing undergrowth and our Lauragais landscapes (canal bridge tunnel, wheat fields, sunflower fields, etc.).
The Vélorail du Lauragais is like stepping back in time. In the distance, the village of Saint-Félix-Lauragais dominates, with its 14th-century collegiate church and château. Make your way to the Montfort tower to enjoy the view. You’ll pass through a 35 m tunnel under the “rigole de la plaine ouvrage” of the Canal du Midi. The railroad offers a superb view over the fields of the Lauragais region, with the Pyrenees in the background (on a clear day).
Departures are from Lac de Lenclas. There are picnic tables around the lake, an on-site guinguette restaurant, a playground for youngsters, and a cycle path around the lake and on to Lac de St Ferréol. Free on-site parking. Traduction automatique par DeepL via DATAtourisme
