Passage through the forest. Even if there are fewer than south of the Vélodyssée, we still appreciate these sections!

This place has quite a few fishing huts, it's magnificent, I wonder how much they are still used today. I didn't see any activity when I passed by, but there are so many that they must still be in use, right?

There are many paths in the Saint Jean de monts forest. Prefer hard paths for cycling, but please use the equestrian paths with the ponies!

Do yourself a favour and, from the bridge, just look to the right, to the left and out to sea. The view of the coast is a sorry sight. French concrete architecture at its worst.

Beautiful trails for trail running without being bothered by crowds, even in high season. The scent of pine trees is very pleasant under a rising sun when you walk the countless forest paths.
