Cycling
Did you know that the long, beautiful Atlantic coastline can be travelled
from one end to the other by bike? Aquitaine offers a network of cycling
tracks in an exceptional natural environment.
Between the sandy beaches and the pine forest, in the milder weather of
spring and autumn or under the hot summer sun, go for a day-long ride or a
longer outing and discover the natural and cultural riches of the Aquitaine
coastline.
The Landes with 154 km of cycling tracks, running past the ocean, wild lakes and sandy beaches. Visit the charming villages or rest your legs by paddling in the water…
It is also worth knowing that the SNCF proposes a train + bike ticket.
Your bike goes free or at a small charge depending on the train (TGV, Corail
or TER), and is either dismantled or travels as it is: find out more in the
train stations.
Here we have only mentioned the coastal cycling tracks, but there are also
plenty further inland, not forgetting the roads with very little traffic and
the “green routes” offering a whole cycling network in the region.
For cycling enthusiasts, Aquitaine really is the place to be!

Smallwater lakes accommodation is only 40 minutes away from Pau, the start of this stage.
Christian Prudhomme’s Analysis
The layout of the stage and the future stakes may well upset the order at
the top of general classification,
four days before the end of the race.
No matter what the gap is, the major stage in the Pyrénées will be dreaded by the wearer of the Yellow Jersey,
who will have to defend his position while climbing towards the Tourmalet, the Aubisque, the Aspin and the Peyresourde!
