Jump on your bikes, let's go! On this first day you’ll visit the historic districts of Bordeaux, followed by the right bank. After lunch in the city centre, head out to Graves for a wine tasting at a renowned wine estate.
Finally, the evening will be divided between dinner in a traditional restaurant and a cozy night in a guesthouse in the very heart of Bordeaux.
Next stage (transfer by your own means): the wine route with Saint-Emilion and a ride – still by bike – through the vineyards. If you love nature and wine, this getaway break is made for you! Discover this region’s rich history and heritage with magnificent views over the vineyard from prestigious chateaus (Cheval Blanc, Angelus, La Dominique and Ausone).
It no coincidence that Saint-Émilion was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1999! A region shaped by men and enriched by nature.
Return to Bordeaux by your own means at the end of the day.
After the vineyards of Saint-Émilion, make way on this third day for the Côtes de Bourg and Côtes de Blaye vineyards! You will make your own travel arrangements from Bordeaux to Blaye.
Cycle through the green hills with narrow winding roads and on to a delightful road running along the Gironde estuary. Now you will understand why this area is referred to as the “French Tuscany”. Bike around the wine estates and charming villages. Follow the wooded paths and admire beautiful views over the Garonne and Gironde estuary, not forgetting to pay tribute to a technical feat of 17th-century engineering: Blaye Citadel, built under Vauban’s supervision.
Take advantage of the River Festival from 24 May to 3 June 2019 to visit Bordeaux and the Bay of Arcachon from the water.
