Col du Château d'eau

Nice little gimmick, probably put up by the forestry administration.
I would have preferred a better surface.

Hourtin Beach

Highlight • Beach

Nice beach village for lunch, the mussels restaurant on the left, at the corner before the beach, is good and inexpensive.

Break with a view of the sea (and bike)

Highlight • Other

A 1 km detour from the Euro Velo... ideal for a coffee, the kitchen is not open all day. But there are other options in town for a snack or a proper meal.

Just keep a little breath to climb the 2 to 3 dunes of the cycle path which end the route

Unfortunately, there were too many bumps along the route. The bike path was crisscrossed by numerous root runners. What a shame.

A bike tour to the next town requires a notable supermarket, which is, by the way, very modern and moderately priced. The path leads through the dunes and forest of the municipality of Hourtin. The bike paths are mostly bad, a suspension fork is appropriate...
