My Bachelorette Party in Lacanau
There are weekends that mark a lifetime. And this one… I won't soon forget it. There were eight of us, carried by a breath of freedom, a little excitement, and a lot of love; a foretaste of marriage. The girls came to my house without wanting to say anything, but I quickly realized we were heading to Lacanau, to experience my bachelorette party like a dream. I love this resort.
On Saturday morning, we arrived at the vacation rental we'd booked for the weekend, full of energy, our eyes shining, and our hearts already celebrating. The sun was out, and the laughter began from the very first moment.
It was Marion from the Bike Experience Evolution 2 store who delivered our bikes to us with her smile, good humor, and tons of advice: the most beautiful rides to take, secret spots to explore, and even ideas to spice up our evening. She was adorable...
At noon, we laid our towels on the warm sand, picnic-style, overlooking the ocean. The sound of the waves, our sunglasses, our bare feet, and the conversations flying in all directions... a suspended moment, simple and precious.
In the afternoon, we took our bikes back to the lake of Lacanau. What I didn't know was that they had an incredible surprise in store for me: a real "survivor" challenge with Evolution 2! And then, my heart burst with joy: my lifelong dream was to climb the famous poles of Koh Lanta. Yes, I did it. With style, with pride, with all my friends around me to cheer me on.
The challenges were fantastic, and they all followed one after the other in a supercharged atmosphere. We played with giant catapults, took on the swamp challenge, had to solve a giant puzzle, and organized how to transport water using bamboo poles. What's more, it was hilarious: there was an immunity necklace hidden at the test site. We searched everywhere looking for the necklace, and Mathilde found it. Thanks to her, her team had a great advantage in the final challenge on the poles. We screamed, we laughed, we sweated... but most of all, we shared something unique. When we got home, we swapped our sneakers for sequins. We dolled ourselves up, did our makeup, did our hair, and dressed like queens, ready to party. And what a night! A crazy atmosphere, dancing, music, bursts of laughter... a real bubble of happiness.
On Sunday, we took the time to savor the last hours together. A brunch overlooking the lake... and then, a wakeboarding boat came to pick us up at the restaurant's dock! Off we went with Andy, our instructor, to discover wakeboarding, pulled behind a boat. The lake was ours for the taking; we all got out of the water and had a good laugh about the many falls!
This weekend was more than just a bachelorette party. It was our enchanted interlude, our own adventure, a concentration of complicity, tenderness, and laughter. And I'm leaving with memories I'll never forget.
