Saint-Girons-Plage Cycle Path

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Great cycle path mainly through the forest and therefore pleasant and shaded in hot weather. Generally good road surface.

Saint-Girons to Cap de l'Homy cycle path

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Nice section of the Vélodyssée (EuroVelo 1) which gives access to several beaches including La Lette Blanche beach, St Girons and Cap de l'Homy. Perfectly paved cycle path with lots of pleasant shade from the coastal forests of the dunes of Aquitaine.

Côte bicycle path

Highlight (Segment) • Other

The well-paved Vélodyssée trail runs along the coast, sometimes open, sometimes sheltered by forests behind the dunes; mostly away from cars and traffic, with occasional access paths or roads to the beaches.

Lespecier Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

This pretty section of the Vélodyssée winds its way through the heart of the Landes forest between Mimizan and Léon. This beautiful track leads, among other things, to the wild beach of Lespecier.

Le Pont Rose

Highlight (Segment) • Bridge

The romantically named rose bridge crosses the Contis river that creates an almost subtropical 'jungle' atmosphere, though the water is not too inviting for swimming. Next to the bridge is a ramp to launch kayaks or small boats, and there is a canoe rental during the season.

Beautiful bike path

Highlight • Cycleway

Dream cycle path! The path is part of the Vélodyssée, allowing you to move quietly through the trees.

Very pleasant round trip in 2 days, with a night in Mimizan. Easy

I connected the bike for the night and not just locked it ... unfortunately this was only possible with the saddle retracted and "on the back" ...
