À vélo de Mérignac à Bordeaux

This relaxed 9 km ride takes you from Mérignac to the heart of Bordeaux—two vibrant neighbors in southwestern France. Mérignac, known as the gateway to Bordeaux, is famous for its nearby international airport, leafy suburbs, and quiet streets. You’ll set off on mostly paved and asphalt paths, with over half your journey meandering along peaceful roads and designated cycleways.

The route rolls gently, with a modest ascent and descent (so nothing too challenging), giving you time to enjoy the scenery. As you cruise toward Bordeaux, the quiet residential feel gradually shifts to bustling city life. Once you arrive downtown, you’ll be surrounded by Bordeaux’s stunning 18th-century architecture, cafes, and the Garonne river just a stone’s throw away.

Perfect for commuters or a leisurely spin, this route is beginner-friendly and won’t have you battling busy traffic. Don’t forget—if you’re looking to add some adventure, make a stop in one of the trendy cafes or bakeries along the way!
