Yeah roads are great.
But all the beaches are sand and stuff. It's beautiful. -
I did the whole of that west coast, in the opposite direction, found the pine forests and the sound of Cicadas a bit relentless if I'm honest, nice for a couple of days perhaps, but the sea views are minimal despite being on the coast so it can be a bit disorientating, to the point where I wasn't sure if I was climbing or descending sometimes!
The Eurovelo 1 is very nicely paved for the most part though, a road bike should be fine, go to the beach in Archachon then head inland.

Cheers guys. I think I'm going to switch it up and head down SW from Blaye to Arcachon and continue down the coast. Then drop back in land around somewhere to take me to Dax.
@dicki - when you say sandy, I'll be fine on the roads on a road bike I take it?
Struggling a bit to find accommodation that's cheap and near Bordeaux, but without having to head in to the outskirts of Bordeaux... although ibis are cheap.
