We did this route (and onwards to Avignon) a few years ago. Did the Eurostar/tgv thing with les velos dans les housses. Sadly the change in Eurostar rules may have nixed that plan.
The first part of the paths were excellent but as noted some sections later are near unrideable on a laden tourer. However the quieter roads are fine and French drivers generally considerate.
Favourite spots: carcassonne, narbonne (a great campsite just outside the town... Afraid I can't recall the name), Toulouse (the approach along the canal is horrible but once you get to the centre, the city is ace. There's a cyclist friendly cheap hotel near the canal on the north east corner if the city.
