Kerkennah by bike: adrenaline, terroir and culinary experiences with Abderrahmane

Immersive culinary cycling experience off the beaten track

Ideal for relaxing and cycling in the heart of nature. Between the wild palm trees and pristine coasts of Kerkennah Island, our experience is a concentrate of cultural and culinary discovery. It allows you to discover our island in a different way, with its vast expanses of space, its people, its daily life and its gastronomy. What better way to discover all this than on a bike, while entering into a symbiotic relationship with your body and mind. We also offer you the experience of cooking in the middle of nature and a moment of relaxation by the sea.

The spirit

This experience is part of a sustainable and ecological philosophy. We’re off to discover untouched nature and places still far from mass tourism. I’m counting on you to respect the environment and the habits of the local population.

The experience also offers opportunities to meet local fishermen and artisans and share a few moments with them. They’re not used to receiving people, but they’re very hospitable and friendly. The visits also encourage them to continue their food-producing activities.

We’ve got you covered…

• Arrival on the island. Welcome and discussion of the experience.
• Handling mountain bikes and helmets. Explanation of safety instructions.
• We then set off to discover the island and its unspoilt nature. The experience offers you a concentrate of energy, happiness and pleasure. We get the adrenalin pumping with our pedals. The landscape changes, and you meet more and more people (craftsmen, fishermen, farmers…). Each stop is a moment of discovery and exchange.
• We continue on to the fishing village to meet a craftsman who makes fishing cages, then a barcassier specializing in octopus fishing.
• We set down by the beach to prepare our meal. I’ve put together a selection of fresh island produce to round off our discovery with a moment of pure delight.
