Bordeaux à vélo

The best way to get to know a region or discover a city is still by bike,
By bike we are part of the landscape, and not just spectators on the other side of the screen window that isolates us and deprives us of our sensations. By bike we are in direct contact with the events that shake the world around us. In the countryside, cycling is slow enough to soak up the soul of the country, and goes fast enough to see the landscapes change. In the city, cycling allows immediate contact with the environment and people on the street. Cycling is fun and friendly, it brings people together, it breaks the ice and creates a connection between users. Cycling is invigorating, it brings a change of pace, it gives us energy, it keeps us in shape while maintaining our line. Cycling is freedom, to get there without waiting. By bike, we take the time and the air of the time, head in the clouds, feet on the floor of the cows, quick mind and an eye alert to the slightest obstacle on our way. By bike we are really here and now.

The city of Bordeaux, through its policy of increased mobility, by creating the tram and at the same time by developing its bike network, provides us with exceptional resources to facilitate cycling in urban areas. Thanks to this new system promoting a gentle mode of travel throughout the region, it allows for a secure exchange between the city and the suburbs for all those who are new to it. It is to make better known these installations as well as to rediscover the treasures of our historical and natural heritage that we have chosen the bicycle.

No more looking for your way, the handlebars show you the route. Let yourself be guided through the labyrinth of streets to discover places, from the most essential to the most secret. Let us decipher the universal language of stones that is declined to the fluctuating lights of history, the great or the small shaping the city and those who inhabit it. Let yourself be enchanted by the poetry of a moment suspended between dog and wolf, on the edge of a busy day. A tracking shot in time of the streets with changing faces and strong character.
Follow us in our escapades on the fringes of the city, to conquer the great outdoors on the way of the schoolchildren, with its string of castles or modest and dilapidated mansions, churches with little known treasures and venerable cellars, pearls of architecture in their green setting.
The destination doesn’t matter, it’s the path that counts, the Ariadne’s thread of the story we will follow as the musical theme of a ride.
To know a city is to be able to get lost there, to look up, to leave the beaten track. The right bank contains unusual treasures that evoke the little-known history of these old port districts and those who shaped them.
