The La Rochelle–Bordeaux route is fully booked. Why not try the Vélodyssée, 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, the joys of the sea, fine wines, and unforgettable landscapes. Between La Rochelle, a port with a thousand-year history, and Bordeaux, the city of wine, there’s a whole world to discover. Alternate between land and sea, depending on your mood and how you feel that day. Start in the inland Landes region in Niort before heading to the coast and its stunning islands of Ré and Oléron.
There’s 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 a breathtaking finale for you at the Arcachon Basin, a magnificent lagoon that will take your breath away from the top of the Dune du Pilat with its 60 million cubic meters of sand! Experiencing the joy of the Bordeaux region means enjoying the most beautiful landscapes paired with the best of French terroir!
