South should be quicker, but more sizzling.
Some valleys (tarn) and causses more north would be amazing to tour but with more serious climbing to encounter. -
If you head north from Montpellier/Bouzigues/Sete into the Cevennes there are some nice campsites and some lovely rivers to swim in. It’s stupidly hot right now - I’m currently in Sanary and it’s hitting 33 in the day. More like 37 further west.

@t.o.
Bump. Need to read this thread, but just in case anyone has recently done exactly what I’m planning….
My cycling holiday has, three days ago, changed dramatically, for reasons outwith my control. I’m ending up in Arcachon near Bordeaux but now flying into Marseille. Tomorrow! I am probably going to get the train to [probably Montpelier] tomorrow afternoon, stay the night and post my bike bag Monday morning, I doubt I can post it Sunday. Any route suggestions much appreciated - I think probably Carcassonne, Toulouse, Cahors, and then up to La Roque-Gageac, Bergerac, Bordeaux.
But I made that up in 5 minutes on Komoot. I think maybe getting north earlier and going west might be prettier? But I quite fancy seeing carcassonne, and know I like Toulouse. I’ll have time in the airport tomorrow to plan! Total hopefully 700-800km in 6-7 days, I don’t want to be cycling alllll day
