Short tour to warm up from the train station in Arcachon to the Dune of Pilat and back. Arcachon is a pretty little town with pretty streets and promenades. Very nice cycle path, often along the beach or near it. You should definitely climb the dune, the view is great.

Arcachon is a very touristy and crowded place. Nevertheless, it's a relaxed place with a beach, a marina, a pier for excursion boats, many restaurants and cafés, shopping opportunities, and many impressive beachfront villas.
We rented bikes and cycled to the Dune du Pilat to see it from that perspective.
