Starting in Saint-Nazaire, the route mainly follows quiet roads and safe cycle paths through Pornichet, La Baule, Guérande and Mesquer before arriving in Pénestin. Offering breathtaking views of the region's rugged coastline, this cycle tour, with a choice of stages, is ideal for cyclists of all abilities, including families with children. There is also an alternative route from La Baule to Le Croisic and back to Guérande.

    Your cycling journey begins at the foot of the vertiginous Pont de Saint Nazaire. Built twice in a century, the town has reinvented itself to become a unique tourist destination. This dynamic port town has combined port activities with a seaside lifestyle thanks to its historic heritage, beaches and cultural and leisure activities.

    After discovering the port, then the Saint-Nazaire seafront, you will head for the Parc Paysager de Saint-Nazaire, the green lung of the city centre. You'll finish your tour in Saint-Nazaire by heading for the Bois Joalland pond, ideal for a picnic, before heading back to Pornichet for the next stage of your tour along the Vélocéan!
