Just to whet your appetites! This is a tiny part of the D801 (you will recall from our 2012 ride that the department of the Gironde gives road numbers to its greenways!) from Lacanau-Océan to Bordeaux. Sylvie and I rode this bit to Le Moutchic, only a few km from Lacanau-Océan, this summer. It's an old railway line, like the one we rode last year from Mios to Bazas. The sign in the top right picture says 'Bordeaux 60'. For the AF3V website link for this voie verte click here. 
The Bordeaux to Sauveterre-de-Guyenne greenway, which should be the next leg of our ride next year can be found here. It is named after Roger Lapébie, winner of the 1937 Tour, who came from SW France. Alas, although I've ridden it, I have no photos; but AF3V does - have a look! It's another ex-railway line with a lit tunnel halfway along.
