Bordeaux to Arcachon Cycle through the vineyards 

Arrival in Bordeaux

On your arrival, take your time to visit Bordeaux, World Heritage Site by UNESCO. Take a walk along the Garonne docks, meander in the lively streets of the St Pierre quarter, bargain-hunt in the Chartrons quarters, have fun on the reflecting water’s mirror of water in front of the Bourse building

Bordeaux – Margaux | 34 km

This first stage leads you across the vines, towards one of the most famous vineyards in France: Château Margaux. As you leave Bordeaux you will be surrounded by vineyards. You won’t know where to turn for a wine tasting or winery visit

Excursion to Pauillac | 64 km

Perched on the Garonne hillside the Margaux and Haut-Médoc vineyards are scattered with chateaux and charming residences. You will discover vineyards with appellations like Pauillac and St Julien, before returning to Margaux

Margaux – Lacanau Océan | 58 km

Enjoy the vineyards landscapes for some kilometers before reaching the cycle paths. This will lead you towards Lacanau-Océan, through the pines of the greatest French forest: the Landes forest. Then cycle directly to your hotel where a swimming pool is waiting for you

Lacanau Océan – Arcachon | 45 km

Follow the Ocean to Arcachon. This stage is a subtle mix of pines and fine sands’ dunes. Leave your bikes locked wherever you wish, to enjoy the beaches. Arriving at the Cap Ferret, take the ferry with your bikes to arrive at Arcachon. The hotel will welcome you, not far from the beaches, to have fun in the Bay waves!

Excursion to the Dune du Pilat | 24 km

Leave Arcachon, following the beaches on the bike paths. Cross Le Moulleau, a lively village, and keep going slowly to the Dune du Pilat. You will need a little effort to climb this 110m-high dune. But the reward, once up there, is an amazing view of the Landes forest, the Arcachon Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. Go back to Arcachon through the pine forest
