Final bikepacking day in extreme heat; reached Biarritz, met Daniel, finished France route after 2,100 km, now heading home by train.
A challenging 145 km with few highlights along the way, ending with forest trails, a quiet campsite, and a shared Dinner.
Dream day on the bike: ferry crossing, great company, 120 km through the Médoc pine forest, endless beaches, and pure cycling bliss.
Marshlands, bridges, strong winds and beautiful coastal forest trails—plus an unnecessary Airbnb mistake at the end of the day.
I made it to Marans and treated myself to an Airbnb. The highlights were the stunning Marais d'Olonne wetlands and the beautiful town of Les Sables d'Olonne.
A day of contrasts: surreal marshland scenery and the unique Passage du Gois crossing, followed by dusty gravel paths and a campsite seemingly built for motorhomes rather than cyclists
The Atlantic at last! After countless kilometers on the EuroVelo 6, I was rewarded with ocean views, a refreshing sea breeze, and a stunning campsite by the cliffs.
