The stage extends the crossing of the Landes forest started the day before, on a route that’s still just as straight and flat. It’s a good stretch for covering ground at a steady pace, with few mandatory stops.
Contis-Plage and Léon, a short detour off-route, let you reach the ocean partway through if you want to break up the monotony of the tree cover.
Vieux-Boucau-les-Bains, at the mouth of the Courant d’Huchet, marks a clear return to the ocean and seaside activity after these kilometres of pines.
Distance shown is indicative for this leg.
