Arcachon Basin Tour - Gravel + Train
🚆🚴♂️Destination Arcachon Basin
What if the adventure began… by train?
Meet at Talence Médoquine station.
Bike ready, light bag, free spirit. We board towards Biganos Facture for a grand departure at the gates of the Arcachon Basin.
Moments later, the scenery changes radically:
the air becomes briny, the pines thicken, the horizon opens.
And then… off we go.
