This stage, heading south from the Vilaine Estuary, is classed as being for expert cyclists, with a lot of stretches going along the water’s edge. The Pointe du Bile Headland is a great spot at which to stop and appreciate the maritime atmosphere. As to the Bay of Pont-Mahé, with its gently sloping beach, you’ll see how it’s a favourite for learner windsurfers.

Cycle route
This stage is provisional, going on small roads through built-up areas and past old-style coastal villas. Note that the way is not signposted and not laid out between Pont-Mahé and Pont d’Arm (on the D 33 road).
Be careful not to be misled by signs for local cycle trails that can easily make you take a wrong route.
In holiday season, traffic can be heavy heading for the beaches.
At Pont-Mahé, there’s a rough stretch of track.
Take care on the stretch on the D 33 road at the level of Pont d’Arm as it is not set up for cyclists.
