Montalivet / Royan The Tour de Gironde by bike

The next stage is extremely pleasant and forested, leading to Soulac-sur-Mer. Stop off to enjoy this charming seaside town with its lively narrow streets and villas before heading for the river Verdon at the Pointe de Grave. Opposite the Cordouan lighthouse, the oldest French lighthouse still in operation, the Pointe du Médoc is a multifaceted area depending on whether you explore it by bike on the Atlantic side to the west or the Gironde estuary and vineyards. At the Verdon's landing stage, the ferry crosses Europe's largest estuary. Take advantage of it: bicycles are transported for free!
