From Arcachon to Biarritz via the Velodyssée

Your cycling route today will take you from the Arcachon Basin to Biscarrosse, a small seaside village on the Atlantic coast. You'll ride along fine sandy beaches and past immense dunes, including the Dune du Pilat. Park your bikes at the base of this dune, the tallest in Europe, and climb to the top of this sand mountain. The view is magnificent, between the turquoise waters of the Arcachon Basin and the endless Atlantic Ocean. Don't miss this unforgettable moment!

Continue your cycling holiday along the Vélodyssée, enjoy Biscarrosse and its beaches one last time, and immerse yourself in the Landes pine forest. You'll reach the Cazaux pond where you can stop for a refreshing swim. Then cycle towards the Aureilhan pond and finally arrive in Mimizan, another charming seaside town.

Today, you'll cycle along the magnificent beaches of the Atlantic Ocean through the Landes pine forest, enjoying the power of the ocean, its waves, and its sea spray. Feel free to take a break by the water for a swim or a rest. Remember to bring something for lunch, as you won't be passing through many villages on this leg of the journey. At the end of the day, you'll head a little further inland, passing near the Étang de Léon (Léon Pond) and finally reaching Moliets-et-Maa, a small Landes village on the oceanfront.

This day trip will take you through the Landes region of southern France. You have two options: - A longer option that will allow you to discover the heart of the Landes by venturing further inland into its unspoiled landscape. You will travel along the Soustons lagoon, cross through the town of Soustons, and finally reach the Atlantic beaches and arrive in Capbreton. - A shorter option that follows the Atlantic coast and will take you to seaside resorts like Vieux Boucau. You can stop there and enjoy its lively atmosphere. Once in Capbreton, take advantage of your evening to explore its port and experience its vibrant energy.

Today, you enter the famous Basque Country, continuing along the beaches through a stunning forest. You'll also enter the world of surfers, where you can admire them gliding effortlessly on the waves. Next, you'll drive to Bayonne, a major city well worth visiting. Don't hesitate to stop and stroll through its charming streets. Finally, you'll reach the coast and arrive in Biarritz. This magnificent Basque city is also worth a visit, and be sure to go to the Rocher de la Vierge (Virgin's Rock) and enjoy your last evening on the Atlantic Coast.
