Boucle coquillages et pommes de pin

Does the evocative name of this cycling loop appeal to you? Then you've made the right choice! Available all year round, the shells and pine cones loop is an excellent way to take advantage of the beautiful cycle paths in the Saint Jean de Monts area and discover its wide open spaces. From the immense beach of fine sand to the vast state-owned forest, you'll love it!

Starting from the Espace des Oiseaux, you’ll see sand, sea spray and the ocean as far as the eye can see… And then a left turn and you’re away from the seafront. After passing through the lively little district of Les Becs, the route gradually enters the heart of the national forest. The shells give way to pine cones, and the sun plays hide-and-seek with the holm oak leaves, providing shade and softness. The forest cycle paths eventually take you back to the heart of the resort, to rejoin the seaside. In the foreground, the pier, elegant yet imposing.

So you can move from one world to another in just a few pedal strokes! Convinced? Hop on your bike or visit one of the bike hire companies in Saint Jean de Monts.
