Saint-Girons to Cap de l'Homy cycle path

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Nice section of the Vélodyssée (EuroVelo 1) which gives access to several beaches including La Lette Blanche beach, St Girons and Cap de l'Homy. Perfectly paved cycle path with lots of pleasant shade from the coastal forests of the dunes of Aquitaine.

Côte bicycle path

Highlight (Segment) • Other

The well-paved Vélodyssée trail runs along the coast, sometimes open, sometimes sheltered by forests behind the dunes; mostly away from cars and traffic, with occasional access paths or roads to the beaches.

Lespecier Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

This pretty section of the Vélodyssée winds its way through the heart of the Landes forest between Mimizan and Léon. This beautiful track leads, among other things, to the wild beach of Lespecier.

Biscarrosse and Parentis Lagoon

Highlight • Lake

Parentis freshwater lake covers more than 3,400 hectares.

Located a few kilometers from the ocean, the lake is surrounded by the Landes forest.

Ideal for a swim from a beach not subject to the rhythm of the tides.

Weather excellent again. First it went through extensive oak forests, then pine forests and pine forests alternated. After we reached the Atlantic, we went through cork oak forests. The first pilgrims are already appearing on foot. Cyclists are also increasing.

Transfer stage to the south, pedaling for the first stretch to reach the ocean in Mimizan and, from here, always on the Velodysee in the forest and on continuous ups and downs, towards Messanges, Vieux-Boucau and Capbreton, where I found camping.

Luckily, there were also a few places where I could get my obligatory ice cream. And I was able to do a good deed: A Swiss man had driven his wife and two children to Hendaye, …

Wake up early at 8:30 a.m. with birdsong, tidy up the tent and belongings for a 9:30 a.m. departure.

Today, after 140 km, still 25% in the first battery, despite some steep inclines. 😊
