This biking tour is designed for family with children from 10 on who like biking in a hilly to mountainous environment but at the same time avoid climbing and long distances. You’ll be in the Tarn Valley and the Canyons de la Dourbie.

You will be cycling through 3 river valleys: Tarn, Dourbie (Canyons) and Sorgues.

In Broquiès you can make a canoe trip from the hotel in July and August.
You will see a splendid and ever changing scenery with hilly mountains, canyons, plateaus, villages and small towns.
 
Albi, the city of the famous painter of Moulin Rouge and Aristide Bruant, Toulouse Lautrec, is moreover worth your visit because of its cathedral and its nice old town centre.
 

You will be starting in Albi. Via the spectacular Gorges de la Dourbie and a Templars village you'll pass the Valley of the Sorgues in the Pays de Roquefort and St. Affrique and come back in Albi.
You will be staying in 2* hotel Château de Creissels in Millau and cycle under the highest viaduct of the world.
