5 good reasons to choose cycling in Andernos-les-bains

That's it, it's decided, your next vacation will be in Andernos. It's up to us to convince you that the bike is your best friend during this stay for your travels.

1. Slow down the pace

 

In the Arcachon basin, cycling is an institution! Favorite means of transport for the locals, it allows you to easily reach the heart of the city, the Bétey dune or the oyster port in two pedal strokes.

 

So, leave your car in the garage and change your habits to mount a new steed. After all, you're here to take a breather. No Tour de France here, or performance goals, all you need to do is enjoy and slow down.

 

Whether you head towards the covered market to stock up on fresh produce, the Bétey dune for magical family moments, or the Quinconces natural site for walks, you will be spoiled for choice for a change of pace!

And why not take up the challenge of cycling around the pool next year? Or plan your next traveling vacation on the cycle paths of the Velodyssey ?

2. Take a deep breath of fresh air

 

And yes, far from the passenger compartment of your vehicle, you will be able to taste the joy of breathing deeply the pure air of the Arcachon basin! Whatever your journey, you will have the chance to benefit from secure cycle paths separated from the roads. Ideal for your family rides.

Our advice: attach your bike to the entrances to natural sites to prolong the disconnection. From Quinconces to Arès, via the Broustic woods in the heart of the town (looking for the owl that has taken up residence there), or via the swimming pool promenade, you will continue to get your fill of sea air.

Come on, trust us, it's worth the detour.

3. Learn by pedaling

Want a change from traditional guided walking tours? It’s timely! Three partners of the tourist office combine heritage discovery and bike rides. In the company of Bike rental ou The Strolls for a discovery of Andernos or with Loc Bikes Basin adventure on the North Basin, there is something for everyone.

Rest assured, there is no need to have the cycling level of Poulidor, you will benefit from tracks with more than limited altitude difference and guides who are keen to make sure you have a good time pedaling at your own pace.

4. Do good for yourself and the planet

You know them by heart, the radio or television spots that encourage you to eat 5 fruits and vegetables a day while practicing regular physical activity... Or even those that repeat that carpooling and soft mobility are the future of the planet. Here, no moralizing, everyone does their best! Let yourself be tempted by this eco-citizen and eco-responsible habit, while taking care of yourself…
