Arcachon Bay cycling paths provide you with a great choice of nice destinations in the area: the oyster-farming village of Gujan Mestras, the wide sand beaches, the great dune of Pyla or the fragrant pine forest next to the dunes.
Arcachon bateliers can also give you a boat ride to Cap Ferret, where you can wander to see the oyster-fishing huts in their lively and contrasted colors and the awesome view on the bay. In the culture field, do not miss Arcachon Winter Town and admire the typical architecture of the villas.

Une belle façon de découvrir Arcachon, Gujan Mestras et le Cap Ferret à partir d'Arcachon. Les boucles proposées peuvent se combiner, elles permettent à la fois la découverte de beaux espaces, comme la dune du Pilat, mais aussi de déguster les productions des ostréiculteurs. La topographie de la région rend les ballades plutôt faciles.

Pour une première expérience en randonnée vélo, le constat est très positif. Grâce au Vélo Voyageur nous avons pu profiter de trois jours exceptionnels tant sur la qualité de l'hébergement, la restauration et l'organisation du séjour. Nous n'avons eu qu'à pédaler et profiter des paysages qui nous entouraient. Bref, de vraies vacances que l'on compte reconduire dans d'autres régions.
Merci à toute l'équipe.

Merci beaucoup au Vélo Voyageur pour nous avoir fait découvrir cette très belle région ! L'organisation était impeccable, les vélos très confortables et les parcours très diversifiés. Prenez des forces pour la journée "Tour du bassin" en dégustant de délicieuses huitres en chemin!
Hâte de remonter à vélo avec vous!
