About the Bordeaux Bike and Barge Tour
Combining the waterways and wines of the sun drenched Bordeaux region in south-western France provides the perfect base for an exceptional bike and boat experience.
Set at the confluence of the Garonne River and the Gironde estuary, Bordeaux is one of the most prolific and famous wine growing regions in the world. Caressed by Atlantic breezes, the vineyards that cover the rolling hills of this iconic wine district have for centuries produced France's most remarkable wines. Appellations such as Saint-Émilion, Pomerol, Sauternes, Médoc and Margaux have made Bordeaux wines the top choice for oenophiliac's around the world.
As you cycle through vineyards and villages - and even a fortified citadel in Blaye - there are opportunities to visit many of the wine houses to sample their finest products. Each night you'll enjoy chef prepared regional specialties with fresh ingredients, whilst the bar offers a wide variety of excellent local wines to enjoy during dinner, or simply to savour at your leisure.

Bordeaux Paris 50 years after Jacques Anquetil. Nicolas Roux
In 1965 the great French champion Jaques Anquetil made history by winning the 8 day Critérium du Dauphiné Libéré before transferring immediately to the start of Bordeaux-Paris, the world's longest single day classic. At the time it seemed unthinkable but Anquetil not only raced but he went on to win the 557km race less than 24 hours later! To celebrate the 50th anniversary of this historic occasion, Mavic ambassador Nicolas Roux re-created the great Bordeaux-Paris ride. Starting at 1am near Bordeaux, passing the Chateaux de la Loire (Castles of Loire) and finally pacing behind the derny just like Anquetil. See how Nicolas battles against the 600km distance and changing weather conditions on his own historic ride.

Bike In A Box - Bordeaux to Home
WHAT IS #BIKEINABOX?
Put your bike in a box, travel somewhere and ride new places.
Find the time, explore the world, near or far from home.
It can be any type of bike riding. It doesn’t have to be a across a continent or even a country – but it should be a ride that has taken some planning, is challenging and has some adventure.
WHY BORDEAUX?
Bordeaux was the ideal starting point, being easy to fly to, and the perfect distance for a three day ride back home.
There are lots of route options on the west coast of France, making the planning much easier. It may not be a high profile race like the TCR, but with just 76 hours to catch the ferry at Cherbourg, the pace still needed to be relatively high, whilst leaving time for essential patisserie stops.
The goal of this trip was not A to B in the fastest time, but to experience a piece of France, and to embrace the freedom of being on the road - just you, your friend, and your bikes.

French rivers with Scenic | Bike riding through Bordeaux with David Whitehill
David explores the beautiful Bordeaux region in France.
For more information visit:
Read below for full transcript:
a trip to France isn't just about experiencing the icons of glittering Paris. As you step out of the big cities the country side comes alive with the culture, history and heart of the French way of life.
We've joined Scenic for a twelve day river cruising experience through the stunning region of Bordeaux.
One of the great experiences that you can have here with Scenic is that you can come out here on one of these electric bikes and enjoy the French countryside and I think this is one of the best ways to really get a sense of what it's all about and how the locals live;
Just a word of warning though they do have a little bit of a kick.
I have to say this is one of life's simple pleasures; with the wind in your hair and the smell of grapes ripening in the vineyards, the French passion for wine is impossible to ignore.
Of course this incredible region and most importantly it's precious vines needed some very serious protection, so they employed a genius engineer by the name of Vauba; whose role it was really to fortify France.
This citadel here in Blaye was one of his masterpieces and it kept those nasty invading English off to the west and those lovely baguette eating French folk protected and safe off to the east. But I mean who in their right mind would want to go up against this?
The Blaye Citadel is one of the most impressive fortifications in France and has been listed as a World Heritage Site. It’s kept Bordeaux safe since the 17th century and it's now one of her most visited attraction.
With Bordeaux's rich history and wine it makes sense that one of the world's most famous drops calls this area home; the town of Cognac is our next Scenic stop.
My guide Francois gives me the tour around Chateau de Cognac.
It’s starring role in the town's history dates back over a thousand years.
The black mold on many of the walls here is famous to this region, it feeds on the evaporating cognac while it’s in production.
It's an eye-opening look at this age old tradition with some of the spirits here well over 300 years old.
This is just fascinating, they actually need these spiders in the cognac industry to keep the termites out of the barrels but if you have a really close look at their web it's quite haphazard, that’s because the little fellas are drunk. I kid you not.
And on that note Francois make sure I get a taste of why Bordeaux is such a popular destination for travelers.
