Arcachon to the Basque Country

Cycle the Atlantic Coast from the bay of Arcachon to Biarritz

The common thread on this week-long self-guided tour is the ocean. Ride the Atlantic cycling route (Velodyssee) from Arcachon Bay and its famous Dune du Pilat (the largest sand dune in Europe) to the coastal resorts of Biscarrosse, Mimizan and Capbreton. Explore wild beaches renowned for their surfing, pass dunes and ride through pine trees. After crossing the Adour river, the last part of your journey takes you to the Basque region, where the wild beaches suddenly give way to resorts and villages with a charm so characteristic of the Basque region. There is an option to extend the trip to Bidart, Saint-Jean-de-Luz, Hendaye and then into Spain to buzzing San Sebastian. The price of this tour includes accommodation in 2* or 3* hotels, breakfasts, daily baggage transfers, a detailed road book, highlighted maps and GPS tracks.
