Distance: Currently 48km (it will eventually run 165km through to Lannemezan).
Difficulty: Moderate. Some small hills of gradient 1-2%.
The Véloroute de la Vallée de la Baise is one of France's 'off-the-beaten' track bike routes. It follows the Baïse river from Barbaste, just west of the Canal de Garonne, through beautiful Nerac and Condom to Valence-sur-Baïse. It largely shadows the main D930 road.
It links with the Voie Verte de l'Armagnac in Condom.
It will eventually run some 165km through to the source of the river Baïse in Lannemezan in the foothills of the Pyrénées.
