Boucle découverte du Lion

This route offers a superb family cycling outing in the heart of the Lacanau forest. On the way, don't miss the Longarisse crossroads, where a stopover at the Pointe du Bernos is a must to take in the exceptional panorama of the Ile aux oiseaux (Bird Island) in the middle of Lacanau lake. Over a distance of 18 km, this loop allows you to pedal peacefully along shaded cycle paths, surrounded by nature. The Lion loop is ideal for a family cycling outing. Easy to access, it passes through a vast pine forest and offers a wide track, perfect for families with young children in buggies, little ones learning to pedal or those who are already real cycling champions. The trail is perfectly suited to all levels, making it a pleasant and reassuring route for parents. To enhance your ride, plan a swimming break at Lac de Lacanau's Grande Escoure lake, or stop off at the sailing club to enjoy the water sports. Another point of interest is the Lion forest house, where you can leave your bikes and explore on foot. From here, a short walk will take you over the dune to admire the wild beauty of the coastline. Between forest, lake and ocean, this outing is a real escape for all the family.
