Superb greenway between Lacanau and Maubuisson! You will cross the dune area between the pines. Ascend and descend. Take advantage of being at the top of the dunes to put your head above the canopy of pines.

On this first day, you'll leave Bordeaux along the legendary cycle path that runs to Lacanau. From the Bordeaux Lac area, you'll be completely protected from cars until the end of the stage. Beware of road cyclists who can travel quite fast on the path.

At the beginning of the cycle path, between Bordeaux and Saint-Médard-en-Jalles, there are shops and bakeries where you can get something to eat. Don't be shy, because after that, until Lacanau, there are only fountains.

Take advantage of the Salaunes rest area to take a break in the shade and fill your water bottles.

The cycle path ends at Lacanau Lake, which breaks the continuity of the pine forest landscape: you're entering the wild section of this first stage. You'll then cross the dunes that separate Lacanau Lake from Hourtin Lake. This is my favorite part of this section!

Upon arrival in Maubuisson, it's time to cool off: a swim on the beach or in the lake, a drink or an ice cream... You're spoiled for choice!
From Maubuisson to the shores of Lake Hourtin, it's just a short walk. You can spend the night at one of the two campsites between Maubuisson and Carcans.

Well-developed but quite hilly and winding bike path through dune areas with pine and mixed forest (holm oaks, strawberry trees) and gorse areas.
