Presentation
The Gironde possesses one of the finest cyclepath networks in France. You can go all the way round the Arcachon basin with the Eurovelo1, which is a sure temptation to do just that!
You'll see grand Atlantic beaches, wild and free, which contrast with the gentler waterfront cycleways of Arcachon and its café and restaurant terraces. And then there are once again beaches, calmer this time, in the shelter of an arm of the bay. The route takes you from small port to harbour in a succession of changing colours. And it brings you to the vast Bird Park and the salt meadow nature reserve. You'll enjoy slipping through the pine forest to reach Cap Ferret, but the story doesn't end there. There are also the landing pier and the boat which come to collect you, the sea air of the crossing, and a fabulous panorama of the Bay of Arcachon just coming into sight...
The circuit is well-adapted to the needs of children. Most of the route is along cyclepaths. However common sense dictates that some experience and a respect of the Highway Code are required when the route goes through urban areas.

Séjour en vélo autour du bassin d'Arcachon très bien organisé. Safrantours sait choisir ses prestataires. Personnel très serviable et réactif. Les fichiers GPS pour le vélo sont tops.

Première expérience de circuit vélo ! Est ce que cette formule d'évasion me convient? Oui l'itinérance cyclo permet d'apprécier l'envionnement. Dans ce circuit, on prend le temps et on déconnecte très vite du quotidien. Aucune difficulté sur ce parcours même si vous n'avez pas l'habitude de pédaler.
