Day 1: Seignosse <> Capbreton (35 km return trip)

The first stage of your holidays: 14 km on the La Vélodyssée cycling path heading to Capbreton, the only fishing port in Landes. Leave your bikes right near the pier.
Then it’s out to the high seas! The captain of XCAT’ will take you aboard his catamaran for an incredible outing along the coast of south-west France. If you’re lucky, you might even get to see dolphins!

For lunch, grab a table on the terrace of the Belharra Café facing the sea. Then, enjoy a short stroll on the seafront before getting back on your rides.

In the afternoon, head to Hossegor. You have nothing but choices there for your biking and beach adventure! If you’re interested in catching some waves, head to the beach for a surfing lesson, Others can explore Lake Hossegor with a 8-km trek on foot or by bike. If you feel like just lazing about, you can take the opportunity to do some tanning on the beach.

Head back to Seignosse and have a picnic on the beach with your friends. Watch the sun set over the ocean. It will be an unforgettable evening!

🛏️ Les Deux Étangs campsite, with its Accueil Vélo label, welcomes you and your friends to Seignosse, in an exceptional setting between ocean and forest.

Day 2: Seignosse <> Moliets (37 km return trip)

After a good night’s rest, your weekend continues! A 13-km segment of cycling on a greenway will take you to Moliets. When you arrive at the Plage Centrale (Central Beach), use the equipment there for a little match of beach volleyball. Which team will be the lightest on their feet in the sand?

Here are a few good addresses to satisfy every appetite.

After filling your tummies, get back on La Vélodyssée and go back the way you came. Smile! The day’s not over! On your way back, you’ll find the Bergerie des Vignerons de Tursan, a wine tasting room in a shepherd’s barn. It’s a place you don’t want to miss where you can taste the ‘vin de sable’ (‘sand wine’) of Messanges... with moderation, of course! While you’re there, you can also buy some gourmet gifts before your weekend is over... And not just for yourself!

You’ll then pass through Vieux-Boucau-les-Bains with Lake Marin. It’s a great place to try stand-up paddleboarding, a very popular sport on the Landes coast.

Finally, travel the last 10 km to Seignosse... If you’re not in a hurry, make the most of one last night there. Otherwise, head on back home energized by your bike camping weekend!
