Pair cycling with vintage wines
Pedalling, drifting, tasting… what a wonderful way to travel! In southwest France, your Bordelais experience will begin in Arcachon, a charming town known for its gingerbread architecture – especially the Ville d’hiver (winter quarter) – and its Dune du Pilat, and will end in Bordeaux, whose port, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a must-see. Between the two, you will rotate the pleasures of biking and boating. The currents of the Gironde, Garonne and Dordogne Rivers will take you toward the region’s many vineyards, whose famous names - Médoc, Blaye & Bourg, Saint-Émilion, Entre-deux-Mers, Graves & Sauternes, Bordeaux – will make your mouth water. You will definitely need your calf muscles and sea legs for this multifaceted adventure!
