For a route starting and finishing in Vieux Boucau, we will use both the Vélodyssée and the bike path that links this town with Soustons.
Of course the circuit can be ridden in either direction, although we recommend riding counter-clockwise, i.e. heading towards Soustons and then along the lake, through Azur and Messanges and back to Vieux Boucau.
This 26.5km route includes some beautiful views, especially along the Soustons lake, but it also passes through a few urban streets and, of course, through those endless pine forests of the Landes.
We start the route at Place de la Pergola, where the Rue Mail André Rigal ends and crosses perpendicularly with the Grand Rue (which is also the D-17). Continue along this road until you come to the D-652, where you turn left and go right along the Avenue de la Forêt for 50 metres, which takes you directly to the piste cyclable (the Vélodyssée).
