Beautiful shady part under pine trees with frequent access to the beach

Easy concrete cycleway through the forest, very popular. The other paths & Bridleways in the forest are mainly very soft sand, access to the beach generally entails pushing your bike or leaving it secured & walking

Former salt shed, it is now an ecomuseum on the ecosystem of the marshes and its fauna, in particular the many species of birds that live there.
Close to the old port of Les Portes.

Coastal weather. This morning, strong winds and that drizzle you can't see but feel.

This afternoon, everything was perfect again. So we cycled around the upper part of the island. Everything was very beautiful here.
