Itinerary
Mainly on shared lanes and slightly undulating. Cycle lane works underway. Caution with the traffic when going into Biarritz and St Jean-de-Luz on roads. There is a calmer feel between Bidart and Ste Barbe where the route brushes past residential areas.
Connection
No hills on the way to St-Jean-de-Luz station, but do take care at the roundabout.
