Presentation of: CIRCUIT GRAVEL - LA RANDONNEUSE

A route designed for great adventures. Discover all the must-sees in the Pays de Saint Gilles and the sights in the surrounding area on this route.

The adventure begins as you pedal along the Vélodyssée, from Saint Gilles to Brem, where the scenery never ceases to amaze. Between the dunes of the Jaunay and Sauzaie, the Bretignoll coastline and the marshes of the Havre de la Gachère, it'll be hard not to give in to the temptation to immortalise the landscapes in photos!

The Brem sur Mer vineyards provide a transition between the coast and the hinterland. The ocean gives way to green, peaceful countryside.

From Brem to the town of Apremont, there's plenty for gravel cyclists and mountain bikers to get their teeth into, with some fine climbs to spice things up just right.

The town of Soullans takes you back to the sea on a pleasant route through the heart of the Breton marshes. Before admiring the oceanic panoramas of the Corniche Vendéene, the La Randonneuse route will invite you to get to know the natural heritage of Saint Hilaire de Riez, by exploring its marshes and forest.

Before returning to the centre of Saint Gilles Croix de Vie, don't hesitate to take the time to marvel at the beautiful villas in the Boisvinet district. We also recommend stopping off at the foot of the Josephine Tower, a lovely sight for the eyes!
