Your bike will be delivered to your hotel in the morning. The first stage takes you along the Scandiberique cycle route to Sauveterre-de-Guyenne, cycling between the Garonne and Dordogne rivers, amidst a landscape of vineyards.

The route continues near the Musée de l'Allumette, with a stop in Meilhan-sur-Garonne offering breathtaking views.
