サン・ヒッポリットのおすすめライド

Anyone familiar with oysters knows that they can have very different flavors, depending not only on the subspecies but also on their origin. The Pacific rock oyster, which is the most common in Europe after the European oyster largely became extinct, tastes different on the French Atlantic coast, for example, than in Ireland or Scotland. Oysters from the European Atlantic share a relatively high salt and mineral content. Oysters from the Mediterranean, on the other hand, are somewhat milder and have a spicy aftertaste, similar to the "Blue Point" oyster from the US East Coast. The restaurant is irrelevant; it's all about the oyster itself, and of course, the price, which is outrageously high in Germany, for example. Personally, I prefer Breton and Norman oysters because they are distinctive and meaty.

An extraordinary landscape and atmosphere...😉

Crossing the Grau de Leucate bridge offers a magnificent view of the oyster center. You can sit on the terraces of the various producers and enjoy oysters and other seafood.

Great cycle path to Riversaltes

Be careful, there is a section of road which is very dangerous with lots of traffic 15 km and no cycle path.....!!!!

Barcarès beach is one of the most beautiful in the Occitanie region. A beautiful bike ride is possible along the banks.

After it rained heavily the day before, this route is only recommended with a gravel bike or mountain bike. Big puddles and lots of mud.

Very good infrastructure for cyclists, highly recommended.
