Plage de l'Espécier

Highlight • Beach

Nice beach, large parking lot, unfortunately no toilets on the whole beach! (although they are marked on the sign), down the beach to the left nudist, in the beach shack you sit nice, good music, cocktails and delicious burgers.

This tour initially leads along nature trails through a secluded wetland. Great for my four-legged friend to walk in the fresh morning air. After that, we head over the Eurovelo1, which is quite busy. We turned off to the beach on one of the many sandy tracks that no one else uses. Pushing in the deep sand and over the …
