Nestled in one of France's most beloved summer destinations, the Opéra des Landes is just minutes from miles of pristine beaches. With a bike as your primary mode of transportation, you can easily explore the local farmer’s market, charming church, or historic bullfighting arena. Unwind with a drink at an outdoor café or enjoy a peaceful picnic by the lake. When it’s time to hit the beach, a quick 20-minute bike ride brings you to unspoiled natural dunes and the breathtaking Atlantic Ocean.
