Delight the senses on this cycle along the Atlantic coastline from Bordeaux to ritzy Biarritz. Explore the splendid natural landscapes and rich cultural heritage along the southern section of the Vélodyssée, Europe's longest cycling track, on this exquisite ride between Bordeaux and the trendy seaside town of Biarritz. The cycle route begins in the French wine capital of Bordeaux, also noted for its fine architecture, and then follows the rocky Atlantic coastline into a stunning part of the Basque country wedged between the lakes and the ocean before continuing through the vast, forested Landes de Gascogne Natural Park. During the ride you will discover a variety of landscapes: salt marshes, sand dunes, forests, large beaches surrounded by pine trees and intimate lakes. Every sense will come to life as you breathe in the aromas of the sea air and distinct perfume of the Pine, Mimosa and Brooms trees, and as you refuel for the cycling ahead at the many bars and restaurants where the local oyster and duck specialities await you. After each day's cycle, you will be warmly welcomed in atmospheric hotels and B&Bs.
