There is an ice cream workshop that opened not so long ago nearby and it is simply excellent (on the corner between rue du temple and rue des Templiers. I recommend this place rather because despite my great experience in ice cream, it is my number 1 (I am not paid to say this, and unfortunately I do not live at all nearby...)

Along the canal it's a straight, but it rides well, a portion of it is not bad

Canal bordered by a magnificent white path perfect for cycling. The path not only borders the canal, it also overlooks the canal for a part of it, top!

Very beautiful work that opens onto the old town and its many pleasant alleys for strolling... But beware, it's crowded!

An alternative to Eurovelo – but significantly uncomfortable. Caution first – there's a steep drop-off at the beginning. The path down to the canal isn't suitable for everyone. MTBs are great. Pushing is better with luggage and narrow tires. The view of the bridge is beautiful. There are many stones along the river, and some holes are encrusted with mud. Not so good with luggage. Perhaps too "exciting" for smaller children because the path is narrow and the water is very close. In retrospect, I would take the slightly longer but safer route on the Eurovelo. I got a flat tire here; there were lots of sharp stones.
