La Vélodyssée - De Lacanau océan à Arcachon

Get ready to discover Arcachon Bay (known locally as the Bassin d’Arcachon), a lagune that opens out onto the ocean, making a sort of inland sea. Oyster farming, fishing and sailing are the bay’s main activities. In the centre lies ‘the Isle of Birds’ and its huts built on stilts.A pleasant stage of the Vélodyssée® along dedicated tracks between dunes and forests. You have to peel off the cycle track from time to time to enjoy the sea and some rare oceanic landscapes. Be careful on the beaches of the Atlantic, though! Next, turn left in the direction of ‘Le Porge-Le Gressier’, until the plage du Lion (“Lion beach”) car park where you’ll find an area for resting and stocking up on supplies. Enjoy the landscape of twisted pines and the dunes that slope off as far as the eye can see. Follow signs for Le Porge on a beautiful track. Continue straight ahead at la plage du Gressier (double bend left/right). On arriving at ‘Porge-Océan’, you’ll appreciate a well-earned rest. Continue to the right towards La Jenny on a lovely new track.
