Check Out The Astonishing Le Teich Coastline Hike – Bordeaux
Hiking around the coastline of Le Teich or as it is said in French: Randonnée Sentier du Littoral, has been one of the most amazing hikes I have done. It is not far from Bordeaux and can be reached via train or car.
It was a very spontaneous hike. I woke up in the morning and saw that the weather was great. So I decided I want to discover a new region and go for a hike. After booking my train ticket I left at around noon and came back to Bordeaux at about 6 PM.
I was literally astonished by the breathtaking sceneries and amazing landscapes I saw and I highly recommend anyone to try it at least once!

Hike Start: Arrival to “Le Teich” from “Bordeaux”
What is beautiful about Bordeaux is that there are many hike trails in the neighboring areas. This hike around Bordeaux was reachable either by car or by train.
On this Sunday morning, I decided to take the train to Le Teich train station.
There is a train every hour that leaves Bordeaux in the direction of Arcachon and stops at Le Teich. The trip takes about 30 minutes.
Train station Le Teich is the start of the coastline hike.
Sentier Du Littoral Coastline Hiking Path
- From the train station Le Teich, follow the signs that lead to the city center and reach the tourism office.
- When you arrive at the tourism office, head to the St André Church which is about 5 minutes walk.
- In the middle of the square next to the church, you will see a path for bikes. Take this path and walk along it to reach the tourist port of the city. The walk should take around 20 minutes.
- When you arrive at the touristic port, look to your left and you will find a big covered space. Head there.
- Facing this covered space, to the left you have the beginning of what is called “Sentier du Littoral” or the Coastline of Le Teich.
At this point, when you arrive at the beginning of the “Sentier du Littoral”, you do not need guidance anymore. You just let the road and nature guide you all the way!
Make sure to stop and enjoy every river, lake, tree, and beautiful landscape you will encounter!
This hike along the coastline is a great way to cherish nature on so many levels!
At some point, after about 30 or 45 minutes’ walk, you will reach the huge ocean. Make sure to take your time and enjoy the magnificent view!
At the end of your hike, you will be back on the main road. You have 2 choices. Either take Avenue de la Coté d’Argent or Rue de Matato which will lead you back to the Teich train station.
