Fier d'Ars Salt Marshes

Highlight • Structure

Section certainly very pretty but which is not really essential for a mountain biker: the route is totally asphalted and much more suitable for other types of bike;)

Grand Vasais

Lake

Beautiful shady part under pine trees with frequent access to the beach

Highlight • Other

Easy concrete cycleway through the forest, very popular. The other paths & Bridleways in the forest are mainly very soft sand, access to the beach generally entails pushing your bike or leaving it secured & walking
