Did you know...
We're in the Gironde
The département of Gironde forms part of the Aquitaine region in south west France and is famous worldwide for its wine and for its beautiful Atlantic coastline.
Our weather
The weather is fantastic and the region enjoys almost as much sunshine as the Côte d'Azur. The summers are long and hot and the winters are mild. You can usually still have lunch outside in early November and be back at your garden table in February, when there are often some lovely warm days!
Cycling in the Gironde
More than 1000 km of cycling tracks!
Gironde has more than 1000 km of cycling tracks and lanes, including 630 km exclusively for bicycles. 435 km of cycle lanes in urban areas, 2000 km of signposted walking paths, most of which are open to mountain bikes... the Gironde is one of France's leading cycling destinations. A perfect way to discover the richness of the area at your own pace.
Cycle in complete safety through the woods and forests or along the rivers and vineyards of Bordeaux and the region.
The Bordeaux to Lacanau track takes you through the pine forest to the Atlantic coast. On the track leading to Sauveterre-de-Guyenne, you ride through the heart of the Entre-deux-Mers vineyards, and if you decide to cycle to Bazas you will discover the Regional Natural Park of Landes de Gascogne. The Médoc also has its own signposted tracks. In Arcachon, you could combine a boat trip with a bicycle ride.
Combine active leisure with sightseeing, at your own pace – there's no better way to see France and to discover the natural and cultural riches of a region.
Cycle hire - Our guests are always asking us where they can hire bikes! We're more than happy to recommend somewhere locally depending on where you want to go, and what sort of cycling you want to do.
