Street art, riverside views, hidden corners... and a canelé tasting from our artisan partner Cassonade.

Ask your guide where to eat or where to enjoy a good glass of Bordeaux: they'll tell you like a friend would. Small group, 12 guests max. E-bike, helmet and basket included. If we mix e-bikes and classic bikes, the route and the fun stay exactly the same.
