The river Garonne at the heart of the city welcomes walkers on its banks and offers boat trip. The quays suit everyone hoping to witness the stop of a cruise ship, "amazing show" of a giant of the seas in the city centre. The capital of wine, Bordeaux is endowed with a rich history and architec- ture. Overnight stay in a 3-star hotel with breakfast included… Day 2: From « Bordeaux » to « Lacanau »: ~ 64 Km The cycling tour kicks-off in Aquitaine, taking participants from « Bordeaux » to « Lacanau-Ocean », a seaside town via the French greenways, a network of cycle paths that follow a former railway track « Bordeaux- Lacanau ». They will ride through a quiet pine forest that now and again branches off into minor paths where you can listen to the songs of the cicadas. « Lacanau-Ocean » in the Médoc Ocean region, where cycling is a way of life, is much appreciated for its long stretches of ocean beaches sheltered by dunes and forests, its lakes and its unspoiled natural areas. The seaside resort is also famous for its surfing spots. Its early 20th-century villas bore witness to a rich past. Overnight stay in a 3-star hotel with breakfast included Distance covered: ca. 64km Day 3: From the Ocean to Arcachon : ~ 47 Km This leg of the Velodyssée continues on from « Lacanau-Océan » through dunes and forests. Participants will remain on cycle path until the beaches of «The Porge Ocean ». Discover the widest wild beaches of the Aqui- taine coast, not a building in sight. The path of this segment never leaves the coast, so once there, do not hesi- tate to stray off the main route from time to time. Participants will eventually reach « Cap Ferret » or the « Bay of Arcachon »*. Enjoy and finish off the day cycling through typical oyster villages of the « Bay of Arcachon » before taking the ferry to the seaside town of «Arcachon ». Overnight stay in a 3-star hotel with breakfast included Distance covered: ca. 47km *For participants wishing to experience more of the « Bay of Arcachon » and its typical ports, it is possible to spend an additional night around « Andernos » and to continue your cycling tour the next day around the Bay to the iconic city of « Arcachon » (please see Day 4 [optional]). The «Arcachon Bay » has been an oyster hub for over 50 years. With its 84 km of untouched pine-tree-lined, it is a truly unique spot on the French coast! Situated between the « Côte d’Argent » and the « Côtes des Landes », the Bay has a pleasant climate with a perfect sunshine all year long. Breathe in the coastal air, the perfume of the pine trees, mimosa and brooms. Day 4 (optional): Around the Bay of Arcachon : ~ 37km Today’s cycling is all about exploring the Arcachon Bay section of the Vélodyssée. Follow the old railway line and minor roads to discover the surrounding towns and small ports, enjoy the splendid view over the bay and observe the many species of bird. Come and discover the «Arcachon Bay », the winter town and its sumptuous villas from the second empire, its churches, its walks alongside the Bay and its ports. « Arcachon » will no longer be an unknown secret for you! Overnight in a 3-star hotel with breakfast included Info sheet Bike tour along the Atlantic « Basque Country » Day 4: From Arcachon to Biscarrosse: ~ 30km Start your itinerary in the direction of the « Great Dune of Pyla », an essential trip to its summit to appreciate the beauty of the site. You can’t come to “the Bay” without taking a look! Then cycle under the pines of the Landes forest. Here everything is respected so this triple mix – ocean – sea – forest - is the best for all the pleasures of men. The velodyssée, just after leaving the Gironde, takes you to « Biscarrose Plage » to end your day in the Landes area. « Biscarrosse » is renowned for its waves.

  • High Resolution Sampling of Methane Transport in the Columbia River Near-Field Plume: Implications for Sources and Sinks in a River- Dominated Estuary
    LIMNOLOGY and Limnol. Oceanogr. 00, 2015, 00–00 OCEANOGRAPHY VC 2015 Association for the Sciences of Limnology and Oceanography doi: 10.1002/lno.10221 High resolution sampling of methane transport in the Columbia River near-field plume: Implications for sources and sinks in a river- dominated estuary A. S. Pfeiffer-Herbert,†* F. G. Prahl, B. Hales, J. A. Lerczak, S. D. Pierce, M. D. Levine 1College of Earth, Ocean, and Atmospheric Sciences, Oregon State University, Corvallis, Oregon Abstract Examining fluxes of biogeochemical constituents at the mouth of an estuary is necessary for assessing the modification of terrigenous-source materials in the estuary prior to reaching the ocean. In many rivers and estuaries, including the Columbia River estuary (CRE), methane is highly enriched with respect to oceanic concentrations and the equilibrium solubility of the atmospheric gas. We developed a methane budget for the CRE to examine the potential for significant modification of the estuarine methane budget by lateral exchange with peripheral tide flats. We accomplished the challenging task of constraining the net transfer through the estuary-ocean interface using novel instrumentation: a rapid methane analyzer combined with a membrane-contactor interfaced with a pumped-sampling undulating towed vehicle. Transport of riverine methane into the CRE was essentially balanced by losses due to flux to the atmosphere (42%), microbial oxi- dation in the water column (21%), and transport to the ocean (32%), suggesting limited net effect of lateral tide flat processes on the CRE methane budget. Estimated uncertainty bounds constrained lateral sink/source terms within 230% to 120% of the primary river input.

It is as diverse as it is surprising, with nature, the great outdoors, vibrant cities and legendary beaches. So, no matter what type of holidays you’re looking for, there’s bound to be a destination for you. Nouvelle-Aquitaine conjures up famous places, like Bordeaux and the city of wine, Lascaux and the Dordogne Valley (which attracted more than 500,000 visitors in its very first year after ope- ning), Biarritz and the Basque Country, Poitiers and Futuroscope (where visitor numbers grew by 6%), Cognac, Pau and the Pyre- nees, or Limoges and its skilled craftsmanship. But there is also 750 km of fine sandy coastline, with ports from Michel DURRIEU Bayonne to La Rochelle, or the 110-metre-high Dune du Pilat and islands like the Ile de Ré and the Ile d’Oléron.

The Arcachon Bay Estuary: A “Collage” of Landscapes 8 Frédéric Bertrand Abstract The Arcachon Bay is a typical semi-sheltered lagoon located on the Atlantic coast of France, facing the wave-dominated shelf of the Bay of Biscay. Its long-term evolution was controlled by the development of the Cap Ferret barrier spit and the establishment of a tide ebb-dominant barrier system leading to a spatial split of the bay in two parts: (a) the inner lagoon mostly composed of tidal fl ats and (b) the outer lagoon with higher hydrological capacities where a large-scale tidal inlet is bordered by the largest coastal dune in Europe. The identifi cation of major interactive sedimentary environments with reference to their representative and complementary characteristics leads to a deductive selection of fi ve landforms supporting oyster cultivation and various recreational (sportfi shing, sailing, ecotourism) activities of both economic and landscape value.
