Summary

The Bay of Arcachon is a haven for outdoor-lovers with pine forests, sand dunes, chic towns, historic oyster-farming villages, and some lovely cycle trails to discover it all by. This cycling tour is based south from Bordeaux, in the vineyard region of Graves and Sauternes and “Bassin d’Arcachon” (Bay of Arcachon).

On the way you will have time to sample some red wines, dry white wines and sweet white wines. You will also find some of the local specialities - le boeuf de Bazas, lamprey à la bordelaise, cannelés, oysters from Arcachon. It might be the historic buildings that attract you such the Château de la Brède, Château d’Yquem, Château de Roquetaillade and Bazas’ Cathédral or you might like to rest a while on the Dunes of Pyla.

This is a gentle tour designed for relaxation and soaking up the French atmosphere. Also suitable for families.
