About this activity

Bordeaux without the effort, with all the fun!

On our e-bikes, you glide through about 13 km of UNESCO-listed streets in 3 hours, with a local guide who loves sharing their city. From the Palais Gallien to the cathedral and the Grosse Cloche, we cross the Garonne on the Pont de Pierre, take a break at Darwin, then ride back over the Chaban-Delmas bridge to the Chartrons district. Street art, riverside views, hidden corners... and a canelé tasting from our artisan partner Cassonade.

Ask your guide where to eat or where to enjoy a good glass of Bordeaux: they'll tell you like a friend would. Small group, 12 guests max. E-bike, helmet and basket included. If we mix e-bikes and classic bikes, the route and the fun stay exactly the same.
