BOUCLE N°20 - SAINT GILLES CROIX DE VIE

A short loop around the old St Gilles district

Initially, the route takes you along the Port Fidèle quay via a pleasant cycle path. It's a great way to enjoy a panoramic view of the marina and the Croix de Vie district. Once past the Pont de la Concorde, the Quai Garcie Ferrande rolls out the red carpet for you, offering you a lush green setting in which to pedal. To your right, you can admire the majestic coastal river La Vie, which divides the maritime city in two.

Further on, just let yourself be guided by the cycle path that takes you to the outskirts of the town.

The journey ends on the Vélodyssée route, with a tête-à-tête with the River Jaunay. In the background, the dunes of the Jaunay and Sauzaie. To discover this unique site, we recommend that you plan another cycle ride, this time heading for Brétignolles sur Mer!
