The La Rochelle–Bordeaux trip is fully booked. Why not try the Vélodyssée cycle route from Rennes to La Tranche-sur-Mer, for an equally memorable experience.
Head to the Atlantic coast for a two-week journey that promises to combine history, seaside pleasures, fine wines, and unforgettable landscapes. Between La Rochelle, a thousand-year-old port, and Bordeaux, a city of wine, there is a whole world to discover. Alternate between land and sea, depending on your mood and how you feel each day. Start in the inland moors of Niort before heading to the coast and its beautiful islands of Ré and Oléron.
There is no shortage of regional specialties: Bordeaux wines, cognac, oysters, seafood, foie gras, and cannelés will be on the menu during your stay. We've saved the best for last: the Arcachon basin, a magnificent lagoon that will take your breath away from the top of the Dune du Pilat and its 60 million cubic meters of sand! To experience the joy of the Bordeaux region is to appreciate the most beautiful landscapes with the best of French terroir!
