Your journey begins at the campsite. Meet at the Dolmen de la Pierre Levée. A monument of the Neolithic period with a somewhat surprising legend.
After crossing a few paved and sandy roads, you are at the ocean’s edge, at the Normandelière beach. First stop to admire this expanse as far as the eye can see and the waves that explode against the sand. Wouldn’t this be the perfect place to put down your towel and have a picnic?
A little further on, lovers of historical heritage will be able to admire the Stèle du Marais Girard built in 1954 on the ruins of a house dating back to 1756.
Pedaling to Sauzaie, you will ride along the rocky coast.
A second stop is necessary to admire the rock Sainte Véroniquewhich stands like a stake.
Continuing your journey, you will pass along one of the most beautiful dunes in Europe; the dune of Sauzaie.
After this day rich in discovery, your calves deserve a little rest…
End your walk with a culinary discovery
