A cycling route starting in Gujan-Mestras, Nouvelle-Aquitaine, France.

Overview

About this route

1

Cruise a mellow EuroVelo 1 segment around Arcachon Bay from Gujan-Mestras, known for its oyster ports, to Arès. It’s almost entirely on smooth, paved cycleways and mostly flat—great for an easy spin. Expect pine-scented stretches, bayside glimpses, and plenty of spots to pause. Start with oysters in Gujan-Mestras, then roll into laid-back Arès for beachy vibes and birdlife.
